Contexto cultural
The 'Ünnepi Könyvhét' is a unique Hungarian tradition where authors sit at stalls in the street to sign their 'vékony' or 'vastag' books. The term 'thin book' (usui hon) is a common euphemism in the anime community for self-published works. The 'Reclam' publishing house is famous for its very thin, yellow-covered classic books that every student owns. In academia, a 'thin book' can sometimes be a slight against a researcher's output, implying a lack of data.
