Maps and Legends - Michael Chabon

Can't decide if the book designer of this edition was a little bit crazy, a sadist, or just really bad at his or her job.

 

What's the problem? The headers at the top of each page with the author's name and book title and - more importantly - the page numbers at the bottom of the page are in the smallest type I've ever seen. What is that? Four point font? 

 

I know I'm on the verge of middle-aged eyesight, but this is ridiculous.
