The spine was thin and weak, the paper was horribly thin, etc. I am careful with my books, so my thinner penguin editions have held up well. Modern Library-never again. I wanted to try purchasing my paperbacks from Oxford World's Classics next, but I was wondering what the quality is like. Are the new editions they make durable? I'm mostly interested in paper quality and a sturdy binding/spine. I hope someone inform me as to the quality of the new oxford etitions. Thanks! Hi all,

However, I still prefer to think that it was because we had a lot of closet Joycians in the audience. :) True, mollymooly, very true.
