I love having the same edition for an entire author, to the point where I spent a year putting off buying a Mishima book because I couldn't find a consistent edition between them all that was still for sale

I really fucking love the way it looks. Like all of Camus works, or all of Vonneguts works, or the older Vintage editions of Murakamis works. I've even gone so far as to sell books that people gave to me as gifts because they weren't the right edition. Sad I know, but it's too satisfying having nice looking books

because german's are shit at covers. Only one I really liked was the Surkamp Ulysses, which used untreated gray cardboard, and huge neon red stamp letters. But that's not even that impressive now that I see it again. I just really enjoyed the raw cardboard.

There are 2 things I learned within a week after moving to germany.
1: germans can't translate titles
2: german book covers are trash.
