While shelving at work yesterday, I saw that PCL has recently purchased some new editions of old classics, which are, in my opinion, absolutely lovely.
These are editions of classics like Emma, Jane Eyre, Dracula, etc., bound in linen with stamped covers, ribbon markers, and more. Maybe it's just the retro lover in me, but I think these are awesome. There's something so sensuous about a well-bound and styled book that mass-produced paperbacks just can't capture.
The only problem at the moment is that I don't actually read classics (or any fiction for that matter, I'm pretty much a purebred nonfiction connoisseur). So I have absolutely no reason to buy these, or even check them out of the library.
Darn.
