I saw a video by Daniel Greene, where he says that paperbacks are actually more durable than paperbacks, and he swears that paperbacks are the way to go. What do you guys think? I’ve seen that the general consensus is that hardbacks are more durable, but after watching Daniel throw and stab both a paperback and a hardback, and watching the paperback stay mostly readable, I’m no longer sure. What do you guys think?
Thanks! :)
Edit: forgot to mention that after the abuse, the hardback fell apart, like entire pages fell from the spine but the paperback remained mostly ok, although very beat up, but perfectly readable.
I find with a lot of modern hardbacks, the binding is awful, and the pages start falling out very quickly. Older ones hold up better, or are at least easier to mend due to the older style of binding. Paperbacks seem to stay together regardless of age, although the covers are more fragile.
