Tell them that you could read them because you didn’t destroy your eyes staring at a cell phone for 11 hours a day at age 9.

I often find that older books had surprisingly tiny print. My mom had a complete Charles Dickens set that I thought was unreadable. I mean, it wasn’t actually difficult to see what it said, but I couldn’t sit down and enjoy reading a novel with print that small. I don’t remember being bother by most liner notes because I’d only be reading them for a few minutes at a time. The really bad ones were cases where they shrunk the back of a very wordy LP sleve down to the size of a CD. CDs really lost the magic of LP gatefult too
