Book Reviews of Visual Encyclopedia of Science
Book Review: Emphasizing SMALL
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm familiar with the hardcover version of this book and have always loved DK's emphasis of impressive graphics combined with useful text. This book is no different.
However, I neglected to notice how small this book was. It's still pretty thick (1-5/8 inches) but the height/width has been shrunk (6-3/4 x 5-3/8 inches). If you're used to the hardcover, it may surprise you that this is more a really thick "pocket book" and not anything like the "reference book" nature of the hardcover edition.
For some that's a plus. For me it was a huge negative. Content is 5-star ... but I'm looking for something more durable and regular book size. I'm sending this one back and will try to find one of the old hardcovers instead.
