gsandler writes “Here is a New
York Times story about how publishers are beginning to print larger sized
paperbacks.
"They carried dog-eared copies of “On the Road” in their back pockets during college and devoured Tom Clancy paperbacks on airplanes as young executives. But as baby boomers near retirement, they are finding it harder and harder to read the small type of mass-market paperbacks, the pocket-size books that are the most popular segment of the publishing business.
Faced with declining sales, two of the biggest publishers of mass-market titles, the
Penguin Group and Simon &
Schuster, have begun issuing new paperbacks by some of their most popular authors in a bigger size that allows larger type and more space between lines."
