i have a small collection of small hardbacks published by Dent, mostly in the last c. i wish todays publishers would make small books like they used to... it seems they equate size with value/importance...
I've seen some classic reprints in hardback format that are designed to look old in a kinda cute way. But I agree, the books today are by old paperback standards are wrist achingly *huge*. They're certainly not pocket books anymore - unless you have really big pockets!
