Even later printings of the first edition of Code lose a lot of that nice hefty handbook feel, unfortunately.
It's not like the old days when books were heirlooms with attentive layouts, quality paper and ink, and solid bindings. Addison-Wesley's offerings come to mind, even softcover books from Prentice-Hall. And especially the ancient Computer Science Series from McGraw-Hill College.
Manning and No Starch do a better job these days.
Here's a new hardcover many here could appreciate:
Heavy Wizardry 101: Shellcodes, Backdoors, Droppers, and Worms
by David Martínez Oliveira, aka Pico
O'Reilly still puts out many great, serious books with good formatting and decent binding + paper + printing.
Many of the new titles on machine learning, for instance.
