Hardcover or Paperback?

For someone with extreme OCD with collecting books, a publisher's decision to make a hardcover version matters. And what matters even more is the publisher's decision to keep on making hardcover versions. But, sadly, for The Best American Essays Series, the publisher failed to stand strong its decision to publish hardcover versions. It can really break the series lover's heart - so take that to heart Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

And this post is dedicated to those who are collecting this collection, so you can stop going crazy trying to find the hardcover version of The Best American Essays 2009 and beyond. Enjoy.
