!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.

I had a nice, giant, leatherbound, 1960s, two-part volume of The West Point Atlas of American Wars, but I gave them to my Dad as an anniversary gift
I tried to bribe military history neurodivergent, Aevann, with scans of them once, and he said they were too neurodivergent even for him

Sounds interesting are they a very neutral view on what worked or didn't tactically or is it more of a general historical view of the wars themselves?

Is that the maps that are usually copied on Wikipedia? I love those.
