It's a challenge that faced many libraries, do they invest in books with good narratives and of a high standard, content wise or should they invest most heavily in the books the public wanted, even if it was in their eyes trashy litterature such as Duke Nuk'em the Book.
What? No, quality is not only a subjective thing. Spelling mistakes in a book makes it have less quality and especially bad quality with respect to correct spelling. This is totally objective.

A finely edited book probably have high quality with respect to the book and how the text is presented.
