content: I saw this show on Broadway and decided to re-read the book. Ordered this Fawcett/Ballantine version from Amazon for $7.99. The print is tiny, impossible to keep your place on the page, very little white space - and yes, my eyesight is fine. The ink is uneven, dark and blurry in some pages, fades out on others. Overall, a mess of poor manufacturing. I looked forward to enjoying this book but will have to acquire a better (probably used) volume. Whoever did this to Michener's Pulitzer prize winning book should be embarrassed.
