I've been wanting to build up a small library with the classics from Marx, Engels, Lenin, etc. and want to know which online bookstore y'all like the most for that, like which have the best translations, physical quality, etc. And, ideally, not too pricy so I can give them out and replace them if I think someone in my personal life might benefit from a particular work.

Extra unnecessary: Ideally they look nice on a shelf together too, but not super important lol

    I can't speak to the quality of the prints from this publishing house, as I've never owned one, but they are cheap and have consistent design so they'd probably look good on a shelf. Regardless of quality, in this day and age I think 7 dollars for any book is a steal.

      I saw this one, it's actually one of the ones I was leaning towards! Missing Capital and a few other works, unfortunately, but it does look like a nice option!
