Paperbacks are usually my preferred reading editions because i love to mark up my books. I love the vintage international paperbacks, but I gotta say the nyrb editions are stunning. Can't wait to buy a few and get into some of the more niche authors they promote.

Re: Seneca et al, you’re still paying for the translator and new typesetting even for works in the public domain.

Great video! I agree with you on the Oxford World Classics and Vintage picks. They’re my two favorite paperback publishers.

I love book series with cover and spine consistency! The Collins Classics and the Wordsworth classics are my favourite VFM paperbacks.

discovered nyrb when I started reading Junger. He might become my favourite author soon and their editions are so nice.

I am a great lover of paperbacks, definitely prefer them over hardbacks. My favourites are Faber & Faber editions as I really enjoy the slightly thicker pages and nice typeset. My other favourite is Fitzcarraldo, but that is mainly book selection which very much alligns with my personal taste in literature

I think for the Kierkegaard one, you're paying for the translator, so that's probably it. But yeah I can understand the frustration.

The long ships is not a book you see on youtube often! Its a popular classic here in Sweden original title being Röde Orm (red Orm). Im reading it right now and its really funny, a humorous tale of pagan times. The language is so good in the original im wondering how it would sound in translation.

Love the NYRB editions too, though haven’t picked up any as they’re quite pricy here in Australia (understandable as the quality is top tier).

I can’t help but notice how all the English editions of books have their sides written in one direction I am not sure how to explain. The thing I am triggered the most in Bulgarian editions is that the sides are always in random and when you look at the bookshelf it is distracting and you start shifting your head left to right….

The prose reminds me of Melville in a lot of ways too, very poetic & rich in language. Crazy too how English was Conrads second language! And what he wrote in!

I guess when you're not much help to the crew and it takes days/weeks to get where you're going, all you can do is write.
