maybe instead of the book being longer by pages, the text is just a little smaller so get more per page
THAT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL

The book is actually shorter - 608 UK, 672 US. And the text being smaller would make the book smaller; big letters would make it longer that's why the large-print edition is longer in page length.

The longer the better! Plus..you can ignore people and say you're reading a book. Very nice. 117 characters are just *bam* out there. And to have one guy doing them all! Wow, not in a million years...
