In college, I subscribed to some book of the month services. Many of the books, especially from Doubleday, had pages with uneven edges. That led me to associate Doubleday with low quality.

This whole "you have to be sophisticated to appreciate our fake signs of quality" thing smacks of "The Emperor's New Clothes" to me.
