More small books, although they're positively behemoth compared with the tiny one:

I can just hear women around the world squealing, "... but Dick, it's so small!"

26 letters, no waiting this way

other wise there's the page turning time
and tweezer fetching
and vision adjustment
and--
--does it hold the record?
i've seen some fine print before but--
*usually reads the fine print*

It's not that big of a hassle to look at all the images. The one of the tweezers holding the book is worth seeing -it's pretty cool.

I don't know if it holds an official record, though.

i like the itty bitty book club
it use to be fashionable (in past centuries)
but i just like things that take less room and fit in pockets and purses.
i forget which company it was that tried to do a literal "pocket book" collect of literature, in the nineties, i think? it was with some magazine.
ya know, when magazines were hot and had a lot of investors.
and there were six billion playing with cool lay out design and some truly horrible illegible text.
got to look at print the other day for a sec in the book store, which reminds me--

--no, seriously, i think i wanna put it in sister havana's birthday catch up or something--

and are portable and battery free. like little books. not shrinking moblies that i always feel i have to press hard into my head or yell at--
--and my digital camera has decided it doesn't ever want to stay charged ever again
[fucking memory stick battery dying free gift, oh wait, it was free]
(anyone else have people talking way too loud at them from a cell phone?)

It's a specklet of a book.

And who doesn't love a Specklet?

shakespeare?
"out damned spot!"

i bet the booklet likes the specklet
but obessive compulsives tend to have spot removal related problems

--a single spot can make a hankerchief look dirty--
--a mote can make the pure impure--

*is impure, i'm sure*

Sounds familiar.
