I really hate the folds on the spine of the paperback books

Hardcovers are nice, but usually include a paper cover into which they are folded, and those paper covers are so annoying because while they do look nice, they slip off the book and get wrinkly or rip and ruin the whole look.

Hardcover looks better on the shelf but is more expensive
Paperback is lighter to Cary and handle and doesn't take as much space up on your shelf, it's also easier to put in a bag.

I will keep, then I prefer hardback and preferably an old one for the smell that you don’t get in new books.
I was mortified once when I took a brand new paperback from the library, opened it and the pages exploded out of it. I see paperbacks as a one read ephemeral book, great to take on holiday and leave there.

But I feel like Hardback books are more sturdy and can endure things a little longer before gaining any damage from any of the many times you might read through it.
But both will always have that awesome smell that books have so I guess I'd be fine with either versions for my sets of books. It just depends on your main preference.
