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. |
