I recently bought some books, first time buying pocket editions or books in English (I bought Mistborn and Stormlight Archive from Tor Books) but every time I touch the letters even a little bit it smudges all over the page, it never happened with any normal sized books in Spanish that I’ve bought. Is this normal over there? Is it because the pages are thin due to it being a pocket version?

Brandon Sanderson did an AMA here [you might want to take a look](http://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/2ytg2h/im_novelist_brandon_sanderson_ama/) 🙂 [Here’s a link to all of our upcoming AMAs](http://www.reddit.com/r/books/wiki/amafullschedule)

Based on me owning a printing company for many years, sounds like the ink didn’t have enough dryer agent in it. Should have dried within an hour of printing the pages. (this is assuming they used traditional lithography). Possible they used a diff printing method, like on-demand)
