20/9 ~= 2, so it doesn't seem unbelievable.
(Unreadable, possibly.)
That's the latest (single volume) set. That's the one I own, and yes, it's pretty much unreadable without the magnifying glass they deliver with it. The older version I owned before was 3 volumes and 4 pages to the page, so somewhat larger print, but the magnifying glass was still quite handy

Both are the full 20-volume OED, just micrographically reduced. Still, the 3-volume set is almost a foot high, to give you an idea of the size...
