Sometimes I kinda wish I had known they were gonna start putting out these softcovers when I started collecting MMW, which was not very long ago.  I actually prefer them (heresy?) to the hardcovers based on the paper and the reading experience.


I prefer them too for the same reason.

The only thing I think is substantially better about the HCs is having original cover artwork on the collection covers.


Which is one reason why I buy the white marble variants. (I like the paintings too, but I can always look on the inside back cover of the previous volume to see those).
