If I order this from Hackett's website instead of amazon will it at least get some decent packing? I am fucking sick of amazon throwing books in envelopes or boxes just to get bashed around

Anybody is an improvement over Amazon in this respect

Maybe I should ask if hackett will actually ship it and not amazon

Amazon is a joke as always but I usually have a good experience buying hardcovers, mine usually come packed in sturdier cardboard than their usual plastic condom wrapping that ruins paperbacks. The last 3-4 everyman's library books I've bought on amazon have arrived in perfect shape.

Jeff Bezos come up with Amazon so that kids could read more books, support him

This book failed my destroying test on its own before I even got around to it. The paper is so thin its built like a bible in a platform heel.

this. i saw this edition at a bookstore the other day. the paper really is so thin you can see through the next couple of pages.
OP i wish you luck.

if it wasn't thin, the book would be twice as thick

I had no issues ordering this particular edition from Amazon. It really is quite sturdy a hardback. Paperbacks are more susceptible to arriving damaged in my experience.

the older Cairns & Hamilton edition has the same thickness but the quality of paper is much better. both versions contain very inaccurate translations though.
