The yellow booklet from hell

This blip might not look like much, but it embodies the nightmares of thousands of former and current Austrian students: Reclam booklets!

At almost every school those little torture instruments are used to teach the classics (Goethe, Schiller and the like). The sheer number of different books is amazing - resistance is futile!
