Customer Reviews

the print is way too small

Got this for my mom, after giving her Rinker Buck's Oregon Trail book. Buck speaks of Whitman admiringly, and I hoped this would be a great read. But the print is tiny. Maybe 9 point? She can't read it without using a big magnifying glass, which would get tiring.
