From what I have heard the book pictured isn't big enough.

As long as we're correcting, it's is short for it is, not a possessive.

The possessive version is "its" (no apostrophe).
Another very common misuse of words is "insure" for "ensure."

Haha...good stuff.
I was privileged to work with Mickey Herskowitz at the dearly departed Houston Post off and on for almost two decades. He was then and remains my favorite columnist. He's a terrific writer and a gifted storyteller. He's written quite a few books, I see 35 listed but I'd bet it's more. He ghostwrote Howard Cosell's autobiography, co-authored bios with Bette Davis and George W Bush. He's in his mid-80s now but as recently as 2015 was going strong as a speaker when I saw him at a local SABR chapter meeting. Thanks for prompting some wonderful memories.

Just read that one. I thought it was very interesting from the Mick's point of view.
