For those who have read The Power Broker... how do you stand to hold it?
I bought the paper book after reading another one of these threads on HN, but it's so large that it makes my hands sore to hold it (or my neck if I lay it on my lap to read). Since there's no ebook version, I wonder how you all manage to get through a tome like this.
- giantDinosaur 6y agoJust rest it on your knee or something. Abandon a bit of decorum for comfort.
- laserson 6y agoI used an X-Acto knife to slice it into 3 volumes and rebound them.
- eslaught 6y agoWhat do you do to rebind them? Are you using real rebinding tools or just using duct tape or something?
- laserson 6y agoIt wasn't too fancy. I bought self-adhesive laminating sheets and reinforced with "book tape". https://photos.app.goo.gl/QRCgTCUas1uYnY6x5 https://photos.app.goo.gl/QRCgTCUas1uYnY6x5 It did feel a bit sacrilegious slicing through the binding, but overall it worked out great!
- dime 6y agoI didn't and went with the audiobook version.
- tricky 6y agoSlice it in half or thirds. It feels weird chopping up a perfectly good book, but makes reading so much easier.
