Question:Suggestion: Please arrange to have your next “terrific” book printed in 10.5 X 19 centimeters (approx.7.5 X 4.25 inches. The old style, smaller paperback is pretty well obsolete and more difficult to read because of print size. Looking forward to later on in 2010 … hopefully your next pub date.
