I Get Tired Of Seeing All These New "editions" Of Classic Books... Options

Just spouting off but I get sick of seeing all these old books now edited for the 3/4th time. For example, I saw Regardie's Tree of Life, and Middle Pillar, both given a huge font, tons of pictures (which are not necessarily needed in my opinion) and a lot of extra info by the editors, the Ciceros. I don't know much about them, but I wonder - why edit and add so much to some of these books?

I also think the cover art on a lot of books is hideous. Kraig's modern magick, for example, I find it to be too cartoonish and it's not something I would read in the public eye because it draws attention.

Do you all have any thoughts? Any editions of books you think are unnecessary, bad cover art, bad editing/illustrations... etc

Greetings,

I too admire the older versions of books, but some of my books are the older versions, and have age-damage and are falling apart. Another thing is that if you couldn't get your hands on an older version of a text you wanted, but now can because it was printed, then it went in your favor. It is a double-edged sword of an arguement, I can think of just as many reasons for and against this issue. Although my preference is more towards older books, and older versions. I am not sure how I feel about haveing just any grimoire at Barnes and Noble's though... I usually buy mine at Metaphysical shops to help promote business there.

I generaly tend to buy metaphysical books and grimoires wherever I see them, this being Australia and all. But there are a number of people showing more and more interest in the occult so i have some competition.
