You're basically saying "lasting legibility lessens the desirability of this book to me."

I totally agree with you (blacked out pages are the point of this edition); I just found it funny and worth remarking on because this is one of those things that I could never explain to the nonbibliophiles with whom I live (like when I told them I considered it a positive when I had lasting forearm muscle soreness after the first day I read a heavy (> 5 lbs.) book on the train).
