Don't the little map systems (see link) bake this? It might be a specialised version, it might (I think) use a 'real' lens not a fresnel, but the essential idea is there. |

[moments later] Duh - just realised, I have actually got the compact edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. This is printed with four original pages on each page (getting the original 26 or so volumes into just two). And it comes with a Bausch & Lomb magnifier in a little drawer. |

Another approach: I have Hitchcock and Cronquist's "Flora of the Pacific Northwest" which is a condensation of a 5-volume botany, said condensation being accomplished in part by wholesale abbreviation of words: "Lvs not linear and connate or fls > 1 per fl st; corolla often gamopet." This could be done with something like "Finnegan's Wake" or the Complete Works of Wm. Shakespeare and save all sorts of space. |

I've got the KJV in a little leatherbound volume about 4 in x 3 in x 1 in thick. I think it's the narrow-minded version. |
