It is pocket-sized (large pocket) and is an incredible read.

I have recorded all of the "Lessons" and play one when I need to fill some time on a "short-spot" for my radio show.

As always, I mention "On Tyranny", Timothy Snyder, and the Lesson from the book. At this moment, I have my copy within arm's reach, along with the Declaration of Independence and my ACLU copy of The Constitution.
