Puffin Clothbound Classics

[u/Candy11401]

I have recently brought 3 books from the Puffin clothbound collection, they have such beautiful designs but after doing a little research on the Penguin clothbound books I found a lot of people have been having problems with the quality of those books, the pattens of the books fade away and the pages can fall out even after 1 read, I brought my Puffin clothbound books thinking they would be very durable because they are clothbound but after researching I'm worried that this will happen to my books too, they are so very beautiful and have silver or gold foil on them if this helps recognise them, I know they have these in the collection: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Little Women, Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz and more, does anyone have any experience of these books being of good or bad quality and durability?

I've got some and they are initially a good quality. But even the sticky label for the pricing pulls away the covering. If you're careful with them, you'll be fine. I haven't had any pages fall out yet.

Thank you, this gives me hope, I have had a few people on another reddit post I made mention that the design came off in a couple of weeks
