In my day to day reading, not so much. But my very favourite books I tend to collect in fine editions. Things like leather bound Franklin library editions, Folio Society and such.

One of my favourite books in my collection is a lovely Franklin library edition of Poe's stories. Red leather, a gold inlaid geometric pattern on the cover, heavy paper and every story has an ink illustration. I love reading that book on stormy autumn days, sometimes just stopping to picture the stories while running my fingers over the leather.

One of my biggest splurge purchases recently is a folio society edition of the never ending story that is made exactly as the book itself is described in the story. The shimmering golden silk cover, the depiction of the Auryn. The only difference is that the book has beautiful illustrations while the book described in the story does not.

It's a joy just turning those thick pages. Stuff like this just turns the whole act of reading into an experience for me.
