I have noticed gutter margins of 1/2 inch or less on four 1000+ Page novels published by EP: Anna Karenina, War and Peace, Count of Monte Cristo and Les Miserables. Normally a 1/2 margin is not a problem with smaller books, but it is a problem with the humongous novels since the printed word curls toward the gutter.
It seems a small matter to increase the page width by about an inch for these massive novels to permit a more enjoyable read (as we find with the DLEs).
Any thoughts on this design flaw by EP?

>1 HugoDumas: I’m still young and appreciate that I have them in leather from EP. That said, small fonts and margins makes it harder to read but I still prefer them to non leather with larger fonts.

I don’t have any of the novels you mention, but I have a number of fat histories — Durant’s set, Landmark Herodotus and Thucydides, several of Henry Kissinger’s tomes, etc. They have margins ranging from one-half to three-quarters inches and seemed tolerable when I read them because they lay pretty flat. For anything smaller than that, EP should supply a bionic eye adaptor to correct for the distortion or a Kindle (with a leather cover of course).
