Lmao the pages are all just scanned from the original work and each page only takes up like 1/3 of the page its printed on. It's pretty endearing.

Edit: since I was originally gonna post in this comm but forgot to switch when I deleted my actual question, I'll ask it here - what's a good general collection of Mao's work to get? It's cool to have this little red book copy to flip through, but it's too jank for me to really be able to sit with and seriously read.

      Any collections of Mao's works you recommend aside from that? I was hoping this would have a print version of Combat Liberalism I could have handy to annoy guests with, but no dice.

        Collections? Depends on your country and availability.

        Since there's no copyright people are free to make their own bundles, so there's tonnes. Look around for communist presses, like melpress or lulu. Big ones like foreign languages press (not to be confused with foreign languages press) have better quality prints.*

        *for example, the first chapter of melpress's Foundations of Leninism is fucking filled with typo's. For some reason only the first chapter, though.
