I’m about to read The Known Southern Land by Gabriel de Foigny (Spurl Editions, 2024, tr. Dana J. Lupo), purchased because the same publisher had I Am Not Ashamed by Barbara Payton and I noticed this curiosity while making that purchase.

Tiny format. 11.5cm x 16.5cm. Adorable. Just below B6? Ah, thanks Google, actually is an older B6 as per Deutsches Institut für Normung 1922 specs. More books should be this size. Slip into a stroller’s pocket. Slide into a striver’s days. What does it weigh? Maybe the same as a small bird.
