Sooo I’ve gone down a rabbit hole for Armed Services Edition (ASE) books and these are by far one of the best formats for a book that you read on the go.
Field Notes printed a version of “The Maltese Falcon” in this format and it’s wonderful.
I ended up buying “The Republic” by Plato and a series of Seven Essays by Emerson off eBay because I love this design so much.
I wish publishers would print books in this format. Or if a company like Field Notes would start printing classics that are public domain.
Google ASE bc I can’t link to the Field Notes site here. This isn’t a paid placement. I just love this format.
I took “The Maltese Falcon” with me to my daughter’s dentist appointment and was able to read one handed while she napped on me. I ended up reading over a half hour while everyone else (adults and kids) tapped away on devices. Being away from my phone for that chunk of time was wonderful.

It would be really cool if the government still subsidized these kinds of works.
