Review: The Scar and the Iron Council all open nicely, and the pages flow gently. Even though the Scar in particular is a large book, there is just the right amount of "give" for you to comfortably read this book and keep it in good condition. Perdido Street Station, however, requires you to destroy the spine in order to actually read it, which did make any sense given that it and the Scar only have about a 50-page difference, and the two books have virtually the same dimensions. Perdido feels like a cheap mass market paperback, and I have already creased the spine getting to page 30. For whatever reason, the other two books do NOT have this problem, and I was able to leaf throughout both books with ease. If you care about keeping your books in good condition, stick to the Del Rey deckle-edge edition of Perdido and order the other two as standalone (if you absolutely must have the matching set, don't actually try to READ book 1 or it will be in good condition for all of 5 minutes)
