Date: Nov. 6th, 2024 01:40 pm (UTC)One thing I really dislike about new books is that most of them are absolutely massive hardbacks which I find really awkward and unwieldy to hold and keep open
Yes! I mean, my eyes do appreciate somewhat larger print than a typical mid-20th-century paperback, but they also seem to be using larger spacing, larger margins, thicker paper... such that every edition seems to be a doorstopper now.
I didn't realize Clarke had a new book out. It sounds excellent, and I was just looking for a holiday/seasonal-themed read!
