Princeton sale, what are you buying?I'm getting The Plum in the Golden Vase
>>25274960Maybe the Inner Life of Renaissance Libraries and some beekeeping books.
>>25275415I've been spending too much money on books, but if I did buy something, I'd buy>Wilhelm Meister>Gasset's Dehumanization of Art>The Inner Touch, or any other book by Daniel Heller-Roazen because they all sound interesting
Oh, I don't read.
>>25274960what should I be buying?
Is it just me or are these books very “popular” ? Like they all seem like NYT best seller bait. Verso-tier.
The Zone Books imprint is unilaterally trash. There’s some good stuff buried in the Jewish studies section but most of this press is destined for the Barnes and Noble bargain bin it seems to me.
>>25274960They use POD. They have almost zero quality control
>>25275544That's a shame. What's generally wrong with them?
>>25275566Way overpriced for POD. Sometimes they just print the old PDF that you can get on google books. They’re charging $150+ for books by Kierkegaard. Even more for Coleridge when you can get all his books for free online since his work is in the public domain. More often than not, for older books they don’t even do typesetting like NYRB that makes it readable.
>>25275576Sounds like it might be ok for new publications or translations and better to get older things elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up.
