It's also MUCH BIGGER! The magazine sized Crime Time was
neat, but I
think the new format, which is a digest-sized paperback or
a
paperback-sized digest runs to almost 300 pages! (ok, ok,
288). The old
magazine format was a mere 64 pages. The new format is easier
to fit in
your pocket or handbag without folding. Now you need never be
without
your Crime Time. I never go anywhere without my copy.
