In October 1995, 25,000 more copies of the softcover book will be printed. The softcover edition of The URANTIA Book became available in May 1995, and over 5,000 have already been sold. We have received many comments from readers on the high quality and low price of the new book. Its popularity seems to be based on the following:
- SIZE - It is smaller and two pounds lighter than the big book, making it better for travel and easier to hold.
- DURABILITY - The flexible, vinyl cover, unlike the cover of a paperback book, will bend without creasing. Also, the book's binding is both stitched and glued, making for a strong book that will last for years.
- ACCESSIBILITY - The softcover book is available through bookstores worldwide, including the two giant bookstore chains, Barnes & Noble and Borders Books.
- READABILITY - The type of the text is only one-half point size smaller than the type of the larger book. The paper is low-glare, and it is thin yet opaque, preventing transparency. This provides a very readable text.
- AFFORDABILITY - The softcover book retails for $19.95.
