>>24110426BZed
>>24110426Thank you for subsidizing my niche prints.

>>24110589Stop impersonating me. I buy based Newton Compton.
what's on all of bookshelves? wordsworth only
>>24110426I buy whatever is cheapest. It just a book...My newest book has a page that seem to have been eaten by rats.
>find one-man printer that copies and pastes multi-volume public domain books, shrinks the font down to where it’s barely readable, then prints them as massive, single-volume paper backs>on the back of every book he prints is a picture of himself dressed like a Lazy Town character and a link to his YouTube channel>vanishes from Amazon after a few monthsI wonder what happened to that guy. It’s thanks to him that I have the complete Summa Theologica. Only cost 20 bucks.

>>24110949I WILL keep buying the bilingual classics with the funny covers no matter how much you piss and shit your pants. COPE, Mondadorifag.
>>24110840What a lad.
>>24110426based
>>24110426>buying books
>>24112469sometimes a book isnt available from the usual suspects, so you have to buy it, dedrm and upload (or buy physical, scan and upload).
>>24110799>Summa Theologicahave you managed to read any of it?
>>24110426I used to do this but then I’d wind up with hundreds of distracting typos because my book is just a hasty reprint of a pdf
>>24113314>or buy physical, scan and uploadAre there any ways to streamline this process? I got a book I want to convert to epub, but not available from the usual places.
>>24113613Saw the movie.
>>24110426Is there really a big difference in different editions of a book besides the cover?
Dangerous game friendo, I bought Hegel’s PoS for 8$, the pages are as big as an atlas’ and the type is 8 point if that. Virtually unreadable.
>>24113613Yes, on New Advent.
>>24113747https://www.instructables.com/Bargain-Price-Book-Scanner-From-A-Cardboard-Box/i made something like this and bought a $15 selfie stick that also acts as a tripod (ill take a picture when i get home). listen to an audiobook or audiodrama while taking pictures since no matter what it gets repetitive. im autistic about formatting so i use gimagereader for ocr and sigil to deal with raw xhtml to create my ideal epub but if you dont care about fulltext search or copypaste you can just throw the images in a folder (with a folder for each chapter and names starting with numbers in ascending order), zip it up and rename it from file.zip to file.cbz
>>24110672THESE ARE MY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! just got the fitzgeraldthey put bbc on the orwell...
>>24110426Hope you mean "the cheapest," not intentionally "the worst"
>>24110840>>24111366thank you forchannel
>>24110672why do they make these?I mean for real. It's just for the meme potential? The editors didn't realize how shit they look?
>>24110426always buy penguin unless there is a reason not to, for example the letters on ethics by seneca
>>24114521judging a book by its cover. shame on you.
I like it, it's kind of a wooden stake against pseuds. Good luck trying to act supercillious while söy freud gazes at you from the cover. Bonus points if the translation is actually decent.
>>24114677 meant for >>24110658>>24110672I like how Frankenstein's cover seems like something stolen from freepik
>>24112469you don't have to show yourself as stingy person. just post your nose instead.
I like books as physical objectsFor me the smell of the book is important
