Do wordsworth classics intentionally make their covers as shit as possible for clicks? It's make sense if they were always shitty but i have plenty of old wordsworth classics from the 90s and 80s and their covers are completely respectable

Their designs, the quality of the books and the lettering is shit now
I have many wordsworth from the 80s and 90s and they're equal to penguins in how well they're made, the size of their letters, they don't feel particularly cheap at all
modern wordsworths feel and look cheap and not well made

>>25110500
Why is Friday always envisioned as black when the book describes him as a dark-skinned mesoamerican, resembling African complexion but not features?

>>25110784
I wonder what happened to them. Their books as you say feel extremely cheaply formatted and made

>>25112051

It's the real thing

We programmers are notoriously bad at graphic design. The evidence is everywhere.
Still, I wasn’t prepared for the visual graveyard that is modern book covers.
So many of them feel less designed and more… inflicted. Ugly as a sin, kinda looks like they did deliberately to latter sell a luxury edition.
