Editions Quotes

Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable Picture Quote #1

As things go digital, the notion of new editions will go away. A publisher can add video and assessment content at scale, make the change in 30 seconds and it’s just a software update Picture Quote #1

Editions made sense when people worked with engravings where the plate wore down as prints were made. An early number of the edition had slightly better quality. But that’s not the case with photography. To me, it’s a false way of creating value Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of The Canterbury Tales on my phone, because I was cycling between three different editions, and I needed to have a middle-of-the-night edition for the insomniac reading Picture Quote #1

I am not a book collector, and I am not fussy about particular editions. As long as the words are there I don’t mind Picture Quote #1

There is no figure who had more of an influence, no person had more of an influence on the intellectuals behind the Iron Curtain than Friedrich Hayek. His books were translated and published by the underground and black market editions, read widely, and undoubtedly influenced the climate of opinion that ultimately brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union Picture Quote #1

At last some curious traveller from Lima will visit England, and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Baalbec and Palmyra Picture Quote #1

I don’t celebrate milestones and I don’t do anniversary editions. It’s not my style to reflect on accomplishments Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of The Canterbury Tales on my phone, because I was cycling between three different editions, and I needed to have a middle-of-the-night edition for the insomniac reading Picture Quote #1

The post-war American newsroom resembled a vast factory churning out multiple editions through the night. Reporters spent days, sometimes weeks, on a single story Picture Quote #1

Formerly we used to canonise our heroes. The modern method is to vulgarise them. Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable Picture Quote #1

Publishers, naturally, loathe used books and have developed strategies to depress the secondhand market. They bring out new, even more expensive editions of popular textbooks every three to four years, in a classic cycle of planned obsolescence Picture Quote #1

Buy good books, and read them; the best books are the commonest, and the last editions are always the best, if the editors are not blockheads Picture Quote #1

I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist Picture Quote #1

When I was young, you know, the first foreign editions that would come in of anything of mine, I’d sit there and look at them as these strange and wonderful artifacts Picture Quote #1

Children, it should be repeated, are not pocket editions of adults, because childhood is a period of physical growth and development, a period of preparation for adult responsibility and public and private life. A program of children cannot be merely an adaptation of the program for adults, nor should it be curtailed during periods of depression or emergency expansion of other programs Picture Quote #1

Standardization, instead of individualization. Cheap books, instead of private press editions. Active literature, instead of passive leather bindings Picture Quote #1

Editions made sense when people worked with engravings where the plate wore down as prints were made. An early number of the edition had slightly better quality. But that’s not the case with photography. To me, it’s a false way of creating value Picture Quote #1

To a man who is uncorrupt and properly constituted, woman always remains something of a mystery and a romance. He never interprets her quite literally. She, on her part, is always striving to remain a poem, and is never weary of bringing out new editions of herself in novel bindings Picture Quote #1

The best newspapermen I know are those most thrilled by the daily pump of city room excitements; they long fondly for a good murder; they pray that assassinations, wars, catastrophes break on their editions Picture Quote #1

Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery Picture Quote #1
