To me the only thing that makes the book better is the artwork, but I don't see the point of letterpress, gilded pages, colored pgs, extra special binding, some amazing case wrapped in skin of some poor dead animal etc etc. Those are just so one can feel special to say "hey look, my book is wrapped in dead cobra skin or whatever". I personally don't any heightened reading experience from that. It's all about the author whose signature is there and the number of books printed. But i guess majority of people might not feel that way, I mean "alice in wonderland" is being sold at 4800$ in current day , so anything is acceptable these days lol.
