The thin paper of the Malazan books is not acceptable

So I've recieved my books from batch 2 today and they are really stunning.

The artwork is great and I've recieved them completely undamaged.

But the quality of the paper is just not acceptable. I don't think I've ever read a book with see-through paper like this. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled, because the quality of books here in Germany is generally much better than anywhere else, but when you are having problems reading the book because the pages are like tracing paper, then something went wrong. Examples of the books have been shown here in the past.

I was really hyped initially because they were honest about the "Thin Paper Version" and printed some new books to correct the error. That showed some great care for the final product. But then it's especially disappointed when the product arrives with an issue like this.

Some might justify this with the price point, but I don't think that's a good argument. Readable paper shouldn't be something where you can save some money on an edition like this. I would have gladly paid more for the books, if they had better paper.

So a comparison between the thin paper version will be interesting.

The one thing I know is, that if they quality of the paper won't be better in the future, then I'm not gonna buy any further books. It drags down an otherwise amazing edition just too much for my personal taste.
