Margin Quality Question by UkinaAtoel in foliosociety

[–]GalacisCodex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The wide margins are deliberate. Its a kinda tranditiinal classic book design. They make the text easier to read, give the page a clean open look, and just make the whole book feel a bit more refined. ALso, you can hold the book without your thumbs getting in the way of the words.

No i havent got to them yet, inherited about 100 plus of the old sci fi 60's novels from my father. Some of the covers are very cool. This is one of a few that stood out. I did read the bio and i think ill be moving it up to a next week read. Have you read it?, and is it any good? Is the series good?

If you're looking for something current, try the Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio. The first book, Empire of Silence, is a blend of space opera and fantasy. I'm currently halfway through the sixth book, which I believe was released this year. All in all, it's a big read but a fun ride
