No, I don't think so.

I pirated because I don't buy books other than the times I do.

Based and blessed.

Everyman's Library
Oxford World's Classics
Norton Critical Editions

Everyman's library
Fischer Klassik
Penguin (only the Modern classics)

>>14792687
Everymans library is garbage version of modern library but I like some of their editions. Oxford world classics are made of wet toilet paper but good critical apparatus and translations usually. Norton critical is crit. I don't have any Fischer. Modern classics? read classics or read moderns. Pick a side you fucking centrist.

Best books, best author's introductions, translation, bibliography, appendixs, etc
Downside is the paper quality as the other Anon said but I like to manhandle my books to destruction so whatever

Treat your books like you treat your women as my father always said...

MIT press

They got tonnes of dope shit, plus they distribute Urbanomic and Semiotext(e).

Zone is also p tight.

Oxford press is for fags.

Minnesota also has some hits.

>>14792330
Best: Arion Press and Pegasus Books for hardcovers
Underrated: Barnes & Noble Classics, Ignatius Press and hardcover editions from NYRB Classics

Oxford

The Foundation Press

this kills a book. I always skip these sons of bitches

Based. Where my other anti-bipedal brain flowers at? anyone else feeling parasitised by their own CNS ATM? I just want to return to the inorganic exteriority from which I came desu

>>14792918
I like my books floppy. Seriously though modern library hardcovers beat all others.
When I have one in my hand I feel more confident.

>>14792725
I'm not from an anglo-country and bookstores only have pulp shit in English. I have to rely on Amazon and their edition selection sucks, so after I got an Everyman's edition once and liked it I started looking for them when buying other books.

>>14792642
I really want to read this but I feel like it may take up my reading for the whole year while there are many other books I want to get on to. Can I just read the Confessions for now? And tell me about the City of God, is it as massive a book as something like the Republic?

>>14792330
Urbanomic sure has talented stylists that fully understand sissy-hypno aesthetic. Anyone care to explain why?

>>14792950
They're pretty good :p I only compare them to modern library due to the similar price point, cloth binding, and relatively thin paper. Modern library is smaller and therefore feels sturdier... for example I wouldn't throw an everyman in my hiking pack. But if you arent rough with books then not a lot of difference other than size.

>>14792978
Because those spooks live in your head rent free, and you’re very talented at projecting.

Loeb Classical Library (published by Harvard but Loeb transcends publishers)
Library of America
Liberty Fund
Little, Brown and Company

>>14792957
Republic is 300-400 pages? City of god is over 1000. I haven't read it yet, but bought it after reading confessions which I recommend.

>>14793007
Sadly my experience with loeb has been mixed :/ print quality seems bad on some editions. That being said, when they're good, they're good.

>>14793006
Cope harder. The sissy aesthetic is consistent and well-established. I suggest you look at kenji on twitter. He's the major sissy artist currently.

>>14793146
your denotation of “sissy” is certainly not a self-identified aesthetic on their part, whatever that might be. Stopped letting ideological buzzwords dictate how you see the world ya moron

Yale University Press

>Stopped letting ideological buzzwords dictate how you see the world
Retard, sissification is explicitly acknowledged by all major accelerationist thinkers as one of psychological results of Capital. You're the one letting words confuse you

>>14793415
Anna Leo Tolstoy Karenina?

>>14793454
>Acknowledged by all major accelerationist thinkers
Lmao only the dead can know peace from this ideology

>>14793476

Anna
Leo Tolstoy Karenina

Oxford for classics, NYRB for everything else, Everyman's Library for the occasional nice hardback

>>14793493
Capital is sissy-hypno, simple as. The accelerationist aesthetic, which urbanomic has tapped into, is merely the aesthetic expression of sissy-hypno. Simple as. Deny it at your own peril

New Directions and NYRB

>>14793673
Your insular community of acc/twitter nerds are not necessarily going to have a 1:1 intellectual/aesthetic semblance with a publishing house in Cornwall just because you like bandying the word “sissy” about. And besides, I have no reason to accept your sources as reliable. Those revered internet “intellectuals” of yours are not a particularly good authority to fall back on either. That’s why I said your language was ideological- you’re parroting an idiom that stems from a very specific culture and perspective that most people haven’t even heard of.

Wasn't aware those existed. Arion Press is uber-god tier, but most of the books are already sold out since they are limited editions.

They all wrote on gender and how it's spontaneously deconstructed by capital and that's a good thing

I agree since they're the only ones willing to print Decline of the West

Probably Penguin House.

I much prefer the Unabomber publishing company.

>deconstruction of gender only operates in one direction only (the feminine) even though women are also subject to becoming-masculine under capitalism
I also don't recall either of those thinkers ever using the term "sissy", but you're welcome to prove me wrong.

>>14792642
How massive is that book? And is that the Dods translation?
