Do not purchase this item!

The book is beautiful but unfortunately the printed writing is so small you will have to read it with a magnifying glass! For the price of the book, it's not worth getting a headache trying to read the passages. This was a gift and it's non-returnable!

Response from merchant

Thank you for your feedback! Because the New York Times paper size was much larger during WWII, the newspaper pages have been resized to fit the book. We've reached out to you directly to find a resolution.

Is the print so small it requires a magnifying glass? My mom would love this book but she doesn't read small print well.

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! The print can run small, if you have issues reading small print a magnifying glass could help.
