Book Margins

I am still wading through the list of things I said I'd blog about before I get to what I want to blog about today. So here goes on Cambridge paperbacks with their narrow inside margins:

You would think that the kind of people who produce books would also read them sometimes, or even apply some of their brain cells to their job.

Notice that Cambridge UP paperbacks have an inside margin that is so narrow that it's right into the spine.

How bloody stupid and pathetic is that? It's narrower than the outside margin, and that's not saying much. Do they want us to flatten out their books so that the spine cracks? I can't get into your bloody books to actually read them you stupid CUP. Think about it.

Right, I've said it. Very soon I can have a moan about the boy in my paper shop, and then I'm really going to let rip on my students.

Oh, and also this Guido Fawkes that they're going on about on the radio tonight. I looked at his blog. Stupid old womany gossip. But that insults old women (like me). But can anyone tell me why having raves and stopping people sleeping is "freedom"? I'll go and have a rave under his kid's bedroom window.
