Are you actually reading this edition, Mr President? If so, congratulations, you’ve got perfect eyesight!! 👏🏼

Yes Pedro indeed I am. It's part of Maricarmen's never ending bookcases 🤗🤗.....its really good. Have you read it, and this edition?

I haven’t read it, Mr President, and I couldn’t do it in this edition. The font is too small for me, I’m afraid. I’ve got a few from this collection, but just for show. 😆

Loved this novel.

Yes, the font is small - and I am as blind as a bat, BUT for some reason it's not bothering me. Maybe it's making me focus and not be a lazy reader - which with this book it helps. I'm loving it Pedro.

I see you 5-stars Chris, it's great isn't it? I can't wait to pick it up again!!!

Wow, Mark! I’ve always found Bleak House a little intimidating, but maybe I’ve been unfair to it. Enjoy the journey - I’ll be curious to hear what you think when you’re further in.

What good taste you have! It’s my favourite Dickens so I hope you continue to enjoy ☺️

P.S. I started collecting Macmillan library a few years ago- it’s gets very addictive so be warned, I now have 2 rows of my book shelf all lined up with little blue ‘hobbit’ size books!

Glad you're enjoying, Mark! Kudos to you for being able to read that small print. Those Macmillan classic books are so stylish and cute, but I'm with Pedro; that small print is too much of a challenge for me! 🎈

Yes, it's certainly a bit of work Pia, but at the moment it's not too much for me. A Tale of Two Cities on the other hand was a tougher one - I DNF'd that one. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! 🤗🤗

"Hobbit sized books" 😄😄😄😄.........They are beautiful though aren't they Megan?

You're right Vanessa, they are very nice editions. Surprisingly, I'm not finding the print much of a bother at all - considering I'm half-blind, it's a miracle!!! Thanks for stopping by, and good to see you 🤗🤗
