This review applies to this edition only. I received this book as a gift, and was shocked at the typography when I opened it. The entire book, while it has generous leading (15-pt line spacing) is set in footnote size - 9 pt type. Stupid, why not at least 10 on 15? The small font size makes it very uncomfortable to read. My own technical books, read by 20-somethings, are set in 11-pt type! If you want this book, I would suggest the mass-market paperback edition, which appears to be set in 10 pt type, and is cheaper too. See the content preview on the Amazon pages to compare the two editions.Get more detail about Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders.
