exit from historical dust part two: the holiday bounty

I can't even explain the perfect weight and feel of this object (a gift from my stepdad): a Blondie version of a Big Little Book:

(from the Wikipedia entry):

A Big Little Book was typically 3+5⁄8 in (92 mm) wide and 4+1⁄2 in (110 mm) high, with 212 to 432 pages making an approximate thickness of 1+1⁄2 in (38 mm). The interior book design usually displayed full-page black-and-white illustrations on the right side, facing the pages of text on the left. Stories were often related to radio programs (The Shadow), comic strips (The Gumps), children's books (Uncle Wiggily), novels (John Carter of Mars) and movies (Bambi).

What a world.

Imagine how many tactile experiences are ghosts, now.
