Books keep getting bigger and heavier. It not only
makes scanning difficult, but lifting books, as I do
when I work in the library (wanding requests) is
difficult. Soetimes I need to use two hands. I suspect
the last Harry Potter will be big, too. each one
seemed bigger than the last. Sometimes I wonder if
it's because books cost so much; the publishers and
authors feel they have to make those who buy them feel
as if theyre getting something for their money. smile
