My family owns the distribution center that ships all copies of Ratzinger's books in the U.S. (Book Center of the Rockies, in Colorado) and the backorders for this book were outrageous. Having them be smaller was a blessing, as it made for easier packing.

On the subject of actual content, I have to say that I haven't read it yet. Between the final weeks of my college education and the unbelievable Christmas rush at the warehouse, I've been rather too busy to read anything outside of school stuff and my WoT re-read. I'll be interested to see how The Infancy Narratives stacks up next to the previous (subsequent?) volumes.
