[lbo-talk] Marx's CAPITAL: a query

[Jerry Monaco]

My experience is exactly the same.  And I bought the Vintage edition in 1980
during the period of acidic paper, thus all the pages are yellowed.  Where
is my International Publisher editions are still for the most part good as
new.  Does this actually say something about capitalism?  The best I
recommend is that you buy a new vintage edition and bring it to a
bookbinder.  Chicago used to have quite a few in my time.
