New Directions and Kondansha are pretty solid. Faber and Faber as well just because they've printed all of Beckett as well as some fringe Latam writers so I respect the effort there.
>New Directions
What writers do you read from New Directions? Most of it seems skippable.
Bolano and Cortazar are the ones I own the most of. They've published Octavio Pez as well as one of Kawabata's fringe works, if you're into melancholy post-war Japanese lit. Most of it is skippable, I'm sure, but I admire them for publishing kino non-angloid writers.
Thanks for answering my question. Yeah that the good stuff.
And Other Stories or Penguin
I can’t forgive Faber for buying Pelevin and then printing all his books with the ugliest covers on the planet.

Vintage and Alma Evergreens.
They have:
>Affordable paperbacks and nice titles
>good to S-tier print and font quality
>good to great covers.

>logo keeps flipping
Wow! I hate that!
Baen, Tor, Del Rey
Arcturus.
Their books are pretty affordable. The few books I've read so far didn't have any publishing errors, although there page margins are tiny.
Great art.
Are the Arcturus hardcover sewn?
Everyman. By a long way. Then Oxford, I suppose.
>cheap and great
Collins Clasiscs
Wordsworth classics
Alma classics
Signet classics
>nice
vintage
Verso books maybe
They publish every libtard with 10k+ followers.
Still better than Andrews & McMeel convincing every Rupi Kaur wannabe that a line-broken paragraph with no punctuation and a shitty line drawing of a feather is "poetry"
Yeah but there’s also some pretty based shit. Just like anything else, you have to do some weeding to get at what you want.
Plus for people who like ebooks it’s easy to get a lot of free shit (inb4 I pirate everything it’s all free).

Because they all have decent collections and use acid-free paper.
Are there any other publishers with the exception of New Directions that use acid-free paper for their books?

Dover. I love them so much. God bless them.
I live near the Dover factory and bought books from the small shop they used to have by the factory. They closed down the shop because nobody was using it.
Damn. What a shame.

You learn to love those inexpensive yellow books when you're a student in Germany
krauts have no sense of taste holy shit
You have no idea. Those books are great.
Hahahaha German humor so good. I love you guys. I just want qt German gf with gut German humor haha
I'm sure you'll find someone like this one day, anon
God bless the Germans. Does reclaim have good philosophy selection?
There's a lot to choose from: https://www.reclam.de/programm/philosophie
Mein Gott ich liebe Deutschland sehr viele. Danke Fremdfreund.
overpriced trash
I've seen the prices vary a lot nowadays. Back when I was still in school, you got all the great classics around 3-5 euros. Great printing quality, notes and interpretations in a handy size, what else could you want as a pupil?
>Gottliche
Absolutely disgusting. How does German not have a word for divine. Why must they use the awful conglomeration "God-like".
Every language has its strengths and weaknesses, anon. German has a lot of words with no good opposite in English as well. That's just the way it is.
English doesn't have its own words, most english vocab is derived either from latin or from german.
"Devine" is simply the latin-derived word for "god-like", whereas "godly" is the german-derived word (from the "göttlich" you mentioned). Why would the germans not use their own words?
Great post. I liked.
Do you buy reclam new? Because I found that you can usually get a pretty nice used Copy for the price of a new reclam
Usually new, but like I said, the price seems to vary a lot these days. Also, when I was still in school buying used wasn't as easy as today because most people didn't use the internet then.

Not cheap, but it's really cosy and you're guaranteed to read great books. Also you'll keep them for life, I've got some my grandfather bought when he was 20
they are bound in pleather...
Penguin Classics
its the little tuxedo birb
Oxford moggs literally every publisher in existence.
why
Best translations and most extensive paratext, which is good if you actually care about literature and aren't just coping with books as your chosen form of entertainment consumption.
>Best translations
Debatable
I agree with you on the paratext though
In my experience, Oxford, NYRB and Everyman have been the highest quality. Everything else has been hit and miss. Much less consistent.
Oxford's paratext is the reason I like them so much. I tend to look for Oxfords when I can for most things.
>NYRB
What?
No this is mistaken. I'm sure you must've meant Cambridge.
More like CUMbridge.
Gallimard, Folio, and Minuit sometimes.
I like Penguin. Cheap, uniform and minimalistic. Vintage is good too, but really, unless it is a translation, it doesn't matter who published the book.
USA: Valancourt
Argentina: Ediciones Ignotas
I don't like Vintage. They look nice, but they don't feel good to hold. Not in my hands at least.
