Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere...

If it were something that was never printed in hardcover or where the only hardcover versions are bound to be decades old (thus making the book used) then I could justify it.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one.

I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback.

I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM*

It's a classic. How could it not be?

Why would one do a new edition of a book that old - and that short - in hardcover?

Because it's a classic.

I have a lot more on my "to read one day" list, but I don't want to read them all in one year.
