[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Publishers who squeeze a book into ~350 pages with tiny font. Just make it 400 pages, darn it. We need to be able to see the words! Berkley is a habitual offender in my mind. [/quote] Thanks for reminding me of another thing that irks me — the opposite of yours. Publishers who stretch a novella or an essay into a book. The type is a little larger, the margins are huge, and there are blank pages at the end of each chapter. The overall size of the book might be smaller, and a different size and/or shape compared to the author’s previously published books. It’s as though they stretched it — so they could price it like a traditionally sized book, but with half the content. [/quote]
