Nope. For most of our books only one version is available (in English, anyway). All I can say is maybe try a magnifier. Looks like I'm going to have to quit procrastinating my visit with that vision care doctor I talked to a couple months ago about my vision. I was already having a little problem with blurry vision within a few inches of my eyes. He called it something that starts with a "P" but I forget what. He said it's normal for people my age.

>> I am 53 and have a very difficult time reading the Satanic Rituals even with my glasses. I have tried to use a magnifying glass, but have found that it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache on top of the sick stomach. << The print is small. But it's not that small, you fucking pussies. Jesus Christ.

At present I am copying portions so that I can print them out in larger type to make it easier on myself. And yes, the print of the Satanic Rituals IS that small. If that makes me a pussy, so be it. So small that you keel over from nausea and roll around on the floor gripping your cramped-up stomach whilst passing out from a searing headache? Get a grip on yourself, man.

It's not unusual at age 40 to 50 to experience changes to your eyes. It just means that you need glasses, or like in my case, that you need to have your glasses adjusted. In my case it was a combination of me being less near-sighted than I used to and needing to compensate for an astigmatism. Don't worry Ray Ban makes some nice glasses  Bit of an investment, but well worth it and there really isn't any reason to struggle with a problem that might be fixed fairly easily.
