You're not a fucking craftsman handmaking a book, making the product worse as a larp is not impressive.

My copy of Gravity's Rainbow is the Penguin Deluxe Classic edition with deckled edges. They make it impossible to schizophrenically skip back to a previous section every five minutes.

Why? My copy of Infinite Jest has these, and I always liked it.

Those aren't deckle edges, they're untrimmed edges roughed up to emulate the edges of handmade paper made with a deckle

Deckled edges are acceptable for a first edition/first print hardcover, but LARP on paperback reprints
