!bookworms do you guys occasionally spend more money to get pretty editions of books you like or want to read?
Pic related is from a hardcover edition of "The Origin of the Species" I found at the bookstore and loved.
I recently ordered a copy of Kafka's "The Trial" by the same publisher "Martin Claret".
Also, I think the Brazilian edition of the book "Vikings: Children of Elm and Ash" by Neil Price looks better than the American edition.
This one in English
And this is the Brazilian by "Crítica" which I have. It's a paperback, but I still think it's pretty.

Tourist bait why?
My copy of "The Art of War" is super disappointing, it looks textbookish lol, also I never read it lol, my dad gave me as a gift years ago.

Tourist bait basically bc it was pretty overpriced and placed like right near the front desk. It was obviously supposed to be like a souvenir "I went to the NYPL and got this book" kinda thing that I normally wouldn't go for but it actually looked really cool and I didn't have a copy before so I caved.
I also have a pretty good Jungle Book hardcover:
I like the minimalistic design and how the lines kinda look like a dense forest of trees. Jungle Book was always one of my favorites as a teen so it's worth it for me.
