Well, yes; but even thirty years ago the word was already a bit, er, quaint.
Then, as now, one says _extra-illustrated_ instead.
(At this moment, for example, _grangerized_ appears in eight listings on
ILAB.org, while _extra-illustrated_ appears in 2,125 listings.)

On a recent visit to our local library, I noticed, and commented to a
Librarian, that an Atlas had apparently been grangerized.
She didn't know the word.
My idle curiosity asks ... how many Womb at ts know the word without having
to look it up?
