I wouldn't mind —if anything, matte paper always makes for a better reading. But the thing is... the quality of the paper is worse. I'm pretty sure that the paper now is slightly lighter than previously (when it should be the same or even thicker as far as I know); and no glossy varnish means it's less protected. I'm not complaining much, because those editions are cheap after all, but, eh... I am pretty sensible towards paper quality, because I don't want my purchases to be ruined after a decade because the damage humidity and / or sunlight caused in my stored books.
(Oh, BTW. It seems that the official name for the Su sisters is "Familia de Flores". I guess Lobdell likes Spanish, either that or the Su sisters are hispanic).
