I have loads of opinions about they physicality of books: the weight, the smell, the way they look on a shelf, the physical design.
One issue with the last is the sheer ugliness of large print books.
I’m slowly collecting hardcover versions of Chandler. I only have 4 of his 8 books in hardcover. The others are either paperback (The Little Sister) or in an omnibus with, sadly, missing pages (The High Window, The Lady in the Lake, and Farewell, My Lovely.)
