Incidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior design"?

       Until now they've been limited to reading the microtext on paper currency.

       Maybe I haven't had enough sleep yet. I don't understand this one.   

       <later, after links were posted> Ah. Thank you. Looks like something my daughter would like.

       With print that small, neelandan, I would hope that you'd move those mini-tomes to a better lighted spot. We don't want those Borrowers to sue you for malicious eye-strain.

       I don't think they read these little books, they stand on them to reach stuff.

       That would explain the literacy rate amongst Borrowers I have known. Somehow, I think Swift imagined a slightly more enlightened Lilliputian intelligentsia.

       po: They have to start reading! This is an effort to make reading stuff available.   

       jurist: Borowers do not read those books on the spot. They borrow them, and will read them at leisure. And Mary Norton, not Swift.
