As with many products, it's always fun to see how the layout of books may vary from one country to another. I hated the layout UK: too big pockets, large print highlighted for titles, I always seem to read a bestseller. I much prefer the presentation of discrete Folio French, with their consistency, smooth coverage, their illustrations and somewhat mysterious.
In international good reader, I was wondering what it would be Japanese books. First pleasant surprise: for happiness, the coarseness Anglo-Saxon us is spared. And in good conscious Japanese occupy only the right amount of space, the pockets are really small, thin, short practices. They have the specificity to have double coverage (such as stapled with us), a bit useless but pretty good.
However, at the back of a bookstore and about to offer me my first pocket VO, I discover additional specificity. While purchasing, I informed the cashier that I did not need plastic bags, and there, so she brandishes a book cover, wondering if this, I will. Intrigued, I answered yes. And now my little book can be found decked out in a second cover, on which are anti-tobacco messages ...
What is the use of this second blanket? Before considering the very thing, I guess it is something supposed to protect the book, rain, or I do not know what in the genre. But watch out the behavior of my neighbors on the subway, I realize that almost all read books by these hidden double covering (for the Japanese in the subway, sitting, standing, crushed in rush hour, is unfazed: he he is sleeping or bed). I conceive then that the thing has another purpose: to hide the contents of the book read. Thence Is this mean that the Japanese would read porn or stuff like that crowd in the middle?
