I love small books.

Have you seen the series of books published by Barnes and Noble in their "Collector's Library"?

I love this series! First of all, they're cheap ($6). Second, they are all "classics" which everybody should read, anyway. Right now, I'm reading A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Third, they are hardback, clothbound editions, not cheapo paperback.

But what I really love about these books: They're tiny! Even the fattest of them easily fit in your hand.

I've always loved small books. In college, I always carried around a tiny little Greek lexicon that I got from my Dad instead of the huge "Bauer" lexicon we were supposed to lug around and use. I loved how it fit so nicely with my Greek NT. I continue to use it, even though it long ago started to fall apart.

Another great thing about these B&N editions: they have a ribbon bookmark. I love that!
