Return it or nah?

Gravity's Rainbow "Deluxe" Edition with awfully cut edges. First they had missing words and sentences then this shit. Why can't Penguin get their shit together?

>I ordered a product without looking at the detailed description. Mac and cheese for din din, or nah?

Pretty sure it's supposed to be like that on those editions.

iktf, bro. Look at the edges on Penguin Classics' deluxe edition of the Odyssey.

>What are deckled edges
This has to be bait

> Fagles

>Lombardo

>OP: so this is what luxury looks like, huh?

pleb

Machined deckle edges tacky. The tuxedo t-shirt of books.

i also fell victim to this meme

No, that would be faux leather covers. Machined deckle edges are the clip-on tie of books.

Confusing at first, but yeah, it's supposed to look crappy.

What is that book?

this is the tasteful opinion OP was trying to convey

...

what possessed you to post your fat hand on this geist of a shiet

>This has to be bait
My exact thought when the book arrived at my house.

I actually like the Penguin Ink edition of Broom of the System, tbph

Lol

Its called a deckle edge.

Deckle edges are the prime example of "it's not abug, it's a feature".

what am I looking at here

They forgot to cut it or something, annoying,

Penguin has always been shit. Look at their translators first, and you will see the poopoo and then look at the quality of paper and typeface in their Penguin Classics series, the penguin Livy is literally eye rape. Never buy penguin. Shouldn't this be obvious?

Still can't tell what's going on in pic

why do publishers think those retarded scraggy pages are something people want

> s t y l e, v i n t a g e, a r t lol

the answer is always women user.

Lmao I cringed so hard when my Penguin Swann's Way arrived looking like someone had taken a knife to the pages

lol

8V

best cover ever lol looks like edward gorey meets dr seuss
