I wanted them all, even those I'd already read. <b>--Ron Rosenbaum, <i>The New York Observer</i></b> Small wonders. <b>--<i>Time Out London</i></b> <i> </i>[F]irst-rate...astutely selected and attractively packaged...indisputably great works. <b>--Adam Begley, <i>The New York Observer</i></b> I've always been haunted by Bartleby, the proto-slacker. But it's the handsomely minimalist cover of the Melville House edition that gets me here, one of many in the small publisher's fine 'Art of the Novella' series. <b>--<i>The New Yorker</i></b> The Art of the Novella series is sort of an anti-Kindle. What these singular, distinctive titles celebrate is book-ness. They're slim enough to be portable but showy enough to be conspicuously consumed--tiny little objects that demand to be loved for the commodities they are. <b>--KQED (NPR San Francisco)</b> Some like it short, and if you're one of them, Melville House, an independent publisher based in Brooklyn, has a line of books for you... elegant-looking paperback editions ...a good read in a small package. <b>--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b>
