In this, my paperback copy, if there was anything I could change, it would be to make the print slightly bigger.
But that of course would make the book thicker or bigger, and therefore slightly bulky however, in my opinion, that would be something I'd happily accept.
Needed a book I could table during a game of Scrabble to clear off any arguments over the validity of certain words used.
