Pocket Encyclopedia aims to fit vast pages in small form
Microprint printing compresses books so 100 miniature pages fit on a 6 by 9 inch sheet. The system uses mirrors and a tiny display to render any page, cheaper for large editions than microfilm. At about $150 per machine, big projects like The Bridge of San Luis Rey and 19th century British papers are being produced, with $150,000 to $15,000,000 cost ranges.
