>why yes I only read Penguin Classics how could you tell
>>24119679Oxford World's Classics are better imo
>>24119679Zoomer.Real chads buy used books fabricated in the 20th century
>>24119679For me it’s nyrb, new directions, and everyman’s library
I'd go for Everyman's Library and just build one bookshelf of theirs
>>24119679>how could you tell? by taking a look inside your wallet
>not reading children's classics edition
meh
>>24119693They tend to have a better selection. Almost all of PC’s new publications are School of Resentment trash that people will buy as an ornament for their bookshelf, but never read. OWC has a lot of that too, but it’s not all they publish, yet.
>>24119679Penguin covers tear and shrivel easily and some editions are abridged e.g. Plotinus and Hume.
>>24119679>mah sì leggo soltanto gli Adelphi
>he doesn't exclusively devote his hard-earned money to Wordworth Classics ngmi
>>24120254penso sia singolare la maniera in cui lei scriva: "i testi della collana Il Pensiero Occidentale edito dalla Bompiani".
i liked the older penguins with the cream border on the cover but the ones with the full black are ass. still have a lot cuz you find them at thrifts
>>24120445cream covers like?
>>24120453huh, my post is clear, clearer than yours at least
>>24120559alright ,let me rephrase. can you share pic of the edition of penguin books you talking about ,the ones you like?there are more than one different editions of penguin cover with the depiction as "cream border".
>>24120606these sorts of ones that were standard like thirty years ago, i prefer the paper in them to the paper in the black cover ones around now
>>24119679>"why yes I only read the absolute worst translations ever made how could you tell"
>>24120637>Fagles Odyssey>worst translation
Any thoughts on Easton Press? Was thinking of getting Ralph Emerson's Poems. Alternative would be Everyman's Library.
>>24120637>reading translations
redpill me on penguin classics
