I personally prefer hardcover books, despite the fact that they’re more expensive, because I value the durability of my books over being lightweight and flexible.
I hate when I’m reading a paperback book, and when I close it, the cover curls or has a crease somwhere, it drives me mad as someone who likes their books in prestine condition. I always feel like I need to baby my paperback books that much more, and I’m debating selling them and replacing them with hardcover copies.
Thankfully, I don’t have very many because I’ve always opted for hardcover when it’s available, but I’m curious about the opinions of other book lovers.
What type of cover do you prefer? Do you have a particular reason? Do you opt for the artistic versions of cover art, or do you prefer the more modest looks?
I would love to discuss with people about their preferences, I find it intriguing to see what people like and how it contrasts with the likes of others.
