I purchased as an Xmas gift to myself, a 21 book set of the Oxford Illustrated Dickens. They are very nice and look great on the shelf. The issue is that the paper is stark white. Not just "new" or unfaded; but bleached, burn your retinas white. They are unreadable. I dont think its a "feature," but the publisher cheaping out on bleached paper.
It would be a hassle to resell them, and I dont want to just donate them- I paid $200. I just read about the use of overlay sheets. They come in yellow, blue, and green and help to filtrr light and make reading more comfortable. Has anyone used these to reduce eye strain?
