I take exception to needing 11 books to contain a 5 book series, unless the Korean language is not very dense.

- larnmar 7y agoMy English edition is five paperbacks, but these paperbacks run at about a thousand pages each. A 1000-page paperback is a major hassle to read (how do you comfortably hold it?) or carry around, and they seem to get damaged pretty quickly (the spine is a mess by the time you’ve finished reading). I’d prefer a larger number of thinner volumes.
- yongjik 7y agoThat's the problem: somehow nobody sells a larger number of thinner volumes. You just get a larger number of books, each somehow being heavier than the original English volume.

- mantap 7y agoIt's also reasonably dense, up to 3 letters can be packed in one square, compared to one and a half in latin.
