Curious about the difference between the regular edition, the soft hardcover edition and the large-character hardcover edition, I went to the bookstore to compare it on the spot. Now let's sum up: first, let's define the object of comparison: the normal version, that is, the 32-inch hardcover version, which is written on the website. The standard price published by publishing house in 2009 is 1 18 yuan. Soft hardcover version: 16, soft leather, priced at 208 yuan. Printed hardcover version: 16, hardcover, priced at 268 yuan. 1. Similarity 1. The page numbers and contents of the three versions are exactly the same (maybe I haven't found any subtle differences yet). 2, typesetting The typesetting of the three versions is exactly the same, that is, the content and typesetting of the same page number are exactly the same. 3, binding quality I saw three versions of the sample book in the bookstore, all of which were turned over by the selected people, so the binding details of the dictionary can be seen more clearly. These three editions are the same as the old Xinhua Dictionary. All pages are divided into several groups, the seams of each group are folded in half, and the middle is simply fixed with lines. After all the groups are stacked together, stick a piece of paper on the back, which is similar to the material used to make the fireworks box, but it doesn't seem too thick. There is a layer of fabric between the spine and the toilet paper at the upper and lower ends. Finally, stick the title page on your skin. 4. Font font selection is not ideal. The black characters on a white background are thick and thin, too thin, and it is a bit difficult to look at, so are the big characters. Second, the difference 1, folio. (nonsense, everyone saw it. ) The folio of the three versions is larger than the sequential one. Both the softcover hardcover edition and the large print hardcover edition are 16, but the large print edition is a little larger. 2. The thickness of large printing paper seems to be the thickest, while the normal version is the thinnest, and the words on the back can almost penetrate. The total thickness is also the thickest for large printing and the thinnest for ordinary printing. 3, the weight is obvious, the normal version is the lightest and the large version is the heaviest. 4, the normal version of the font is the smallest, and the large version is the largest (nonsense! )。 However, in fact, the size is limited. The soft version of the characters is only a little bigger than the ordinary version, and the big version of the characters is only a little bigger than the soft version. 5. The color block with the first letter printed on the side of each page is used to assist the soft fine version. The large version has a series of grooves with a black tape, and the letters are printed on the next page of the grooves. 6. The printing quality of the ordinary version does have the phenomenon of double image, which seems to be that it is not aligned when it is overprinted. Moreover, there are some defects in the printing of the three versions, mainly because the ink color depth of different page numbers is inconsistent. The normal version is more obvious. To sum up: although it is hardcover, it is not hardcover at all, especially the quality of printing and binding, and it makes no sense to say it is hardcover. Unless there is a hardcover, the pirated dictionary I bought many years ago is also a hardcover. The Commercial Press is an old shop, and the authors invited are all first-class teachers. The original English version used is Oxford Advanced, which is very good and the price is quite high. However, there is one thing that is not good enough. The key is to consider the readers. However, because of poor printing and poor binding, the dictionary that readers paid a lot of money for will soon fall apart! Although dictionaries need to be updated, after all, they are not fast books, newspapers and magazines. Many readers are likely to use them for many years, especially the regular edition, and the readers are basically students at school. This kind of printing and binding quality can only show that the publishing house is not enough for readers.
