I think Penguin did a fabulous job in designing a striking cover for this edition. This version is not much heavier or larger than a Kindle, it needs no batteries, it is much easier to navigate, and it displays the illustrations in a much superior way than an ebook. Of course, it will be readable in 30 years from now as well. And all for only $11!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/thetechnium\/\/wtw.ppb.jpg\" alt=\"Wtw ppb\" border=\"0\" width=\"269\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still musing on how to launch the paperback.
