Title: Super book, poor ink
Review: This book, Johathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: a Novel, delivers everything promised on the inside and back cover blurbs. Unfortunately, it is rather a physical trial to read in its standard paperback format. After all, it is 835 pages long, and the reader needs to constantly struggle to keep the pages both open and within the binding. The ink on my copy is very faint, and the print tiny. It's a challenge for both muscle coordination and eyes. I love a lengthy novel, the longer the better for me, but this book is set aside for the time being. I would rather have spent a bit more and gotten a larger bundle: large enough to contain all those pages comfortably and bright enough to read smoothly and easily, with a slightly larger font.
