Despite what we think, and I do this myself as well, the latter is never to be trusted. :) The former is much more important, and perhaps especially when it comes to litterature and books that you cherish. <br /><br />I recently got a used paper-back copy of swedish edition of a excerpts of a select few works by Friedrich Nietzsche: despite the age of this book (printed in 1966) it's stood the test of time. <br /><br />Even though it is paper-back, the quality is superior to many modern issues - that will turn into crap after two reads. I'd go for hard-bound copy of a good book any day, if they are in my budget. Especially seeing that we need to get away from 'wear and tear' philosophy. To me, this involves choosing to buy books second hand as well.Suecae Soundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949168285331693357noreply@blogger.com
