You can still order one of the trade editions of Little, Big. It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve held. It’s the most readable edition of this classic and important book ever published. There are a few hundred left and then they will be gone. They ship in January.      source
One of the best novels I’ve ever read.      source

Those of you who know me know how absolutely obnoxious I am when I passionately love something like Eurovision or wombats or anchorites or whatever, and ...well...I have a massive broadsheet of a chapter from Little, Big on my living room wall. I am a JERK about this book.      source
