I might be strange with this opinion but I like paperbacks and the style of paper they're printed on in the UK. There's something about a well-worn book that I find quite appealing, with the folded corners or creased spine and the yellow-ish pages that are quite soft to the touch. A nice, dusty hardback comes close. They've been broken in already so you don't have as much trouble setting the book down without it closing back up on itself.
What I immensely dislike are the possible fake prints you get from Amazon. They're printed on bleach-white paper, same as you'd get for a textbook, sometimes even slightly glossy.
- Izkata 7y agoI completely agree, with the paper quality and all, except hardcovers are actually difficult for me to hold. I need the cover to flex a bit to get a grip on it and hold the pages in place - on a hardcover the pages will flex while the cover can't, slip out of my fingers, and I'll be interrupted reopening it where I was.
