Parallel Lives

Pretty sure there isn't, but it's there a digital version of this book available anywhere at all? I own the wonderful hardcover, but it is quite large and I find difficult to read carefully near the spine as I would like to keep it in as good condition as possible so was kind of hoping there's a digital version for my reading purposes, and so I can maybe read some while on holiday too in a few weeks and next year, without a good portion of my suitcase being taken up

Sminion -- not 100% positive, but 99% sure there is not. I am having the same issue with binding....I have to be over the top careful reading to avoid it beginning the 'fall apart' phase. Too bad they didn't publish as a 2-3 book volume set.

Thank you :)

Yes, the book is just too thick and heavy. Not anything you can take to the beach. When written I had suggested that it be published in two volumes but the cost would almost double, thus the one volume. There is also a boxed limited edition.

I'm a book collector. I have many limited editions on my shelf housed in slipcases. So I had suggested that the authors do a Limited Signed Edition in Slipcase of Parallel Lives, which they did, and which sold out almost immediately.

Although publishing Parallel Lives in two volumes may have been more expensive, I was sure that they would still make a handsome profit. After all, how can you purchase Vol. 1 and not get Vol. 2. It would have made for a much more practical publication. And if you took Volume One to bed to read you would still have room for your significant other.... and the book.
