I’ve been wondering why so many german publishers print the text on the spine running bottom up. If you stack them you can’t read it comfortably unless you stack them face down. Any logic behind this? The Reclam books – at least the one I own – are like the english ones.

Thank you Mrs. Thompson :)

It was a glorious time.
