| Monday 15 January is also the day of my 64th birthday. I’m waiting, with some trepidation, to see if I love my gift from you as much as I have loved my familiar friend, the Berliner, and its predecessor, all my adult life.Annie GristHebden Bridge, West Yorkshire | Monday 15 January is also the day of my 64th birthday.

| • There will be understandable excitement at Guardian HQ over the change to tabloid. The outsourcing of printing may go unremarked. I hope a way can be found to recognise and thank the many people who have produced the paper at print centres in London and Manchester.

| • We view the reduction in size of the Guardian pages with trepidation. Although we’re confident the quality of the journalism will be maintained, the tabloid will not be large enough to span the front of our fireplace to create sufficient draught to ignite the smokeless fuel we use. Even the move to Berliner format was traumatic, with the risk of the smaller pages being sucked up the chimney, leading to a literal and verbal conflagration.

| • As a Guardian reader for many decades I am thrilled at the prospect of the new tabloid. I have just one anxiety. In all the fine words about what the new sections of the paper will contain there’s no mention of correspondence columns. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will find that the smaller format doesn’t mean less space for readers’ letters, the beating heart of the Guardian.Giles OakleyLondon | • As a Guardian reader for many decades I am thrilled at the prospect of the new tabloid.
