thinking about where those people were in their life, etc., was as inviting as the book itself. In the past I loved getting antique books, which are almost all hard-cover, and reading those because loved the idea that others had read them before me. which comes in handy when i want to stay up in bed reading and the hubby is keen on going to sleep. Paperbacks are more user/carry friendly, but harcovers can support the weight of a reading light.

a cracked spine is ok, a little wear and tear never hurt anyone. Paperbacks have the same story inside, only cheaper, and more portable! Besides, switching gears and picking up paperbacks this summer has led me back into more classic readings, which was a nice change of pace for me as well.Īs far as storing and bending and loving my copies.as i read, i tend to curl back the pages, but i dont like folded edges or tears. (of course, there are times that a book I want ends up on the 5 buck rack as harcover, then im all over it!) Since then, I have managed to put a financial leash on my book purchasing habits, and try to refrain as long as possible from buying hardcover- simply based on the damage it does to my wallet. i would eye the unreleased lists months in advance to see what was hitting the shelves when. I used to buy everything i wanted the second it came out as hardcover.

Hardcovers, however, you can often just lay open and they stay open, which is so great when I'm reading on a lunch break or have my hands full with cats (which is very very often). I think the main reason I love them now is I find them easier to read-so often with paperbacks they're bound so tight and cheap that you have to break the spine in order to read it, which I hate doing to the poor things. I used to hate reading hardcovers, since they're so much bulkier than paperbacks. Helps having an employee discount to justify this.
For most of everything else, if it's available in hardcover.I'll get it in hardcover. Like Elizabeth Peters or other "fluff" genre fiction that I'll probably only read once, maybe twice, and like to keep in my purse.
I'm actually really good with my books, but even then the paperbacks get beat up really fast and it makes me sad.įor certain books, I'll only buy them in paperback. I LOVE the look of them without their dust jackets, and they just last so much better than paperbacks. I buy hardcovers more often than paperbacks these days, because I think they're so much more beautiful and sturdy than paperbacks.
