   	New Cross Game release is 3 volumes in one and at $19.99 USA the   
   price is right.  5 inches wide by 7.5 inches high and the book is 1 and   
   5/8 inches thick.  This I can handle but my arms and hands are too week   
   for anything much larger or heavier.   
      
   	A fine marketing development.
