As always, glad to help. I enjoyed reading that you got an hour’s play out of the sites. They are dangerous for some folks. Maybe I should have put a warning, lol.

I go off to myfonts, type in “sporty” or whatever style I’m looking for, and find myself jumping from sporty faces to edgy faces to modern faces… and wind up back at sporty again but oh, so informed. And an hour or two older. Oops!

Yep, type is critical to book design. Fatigue a reader’s eyes and they’re going to blame the writing, not the typeface. That can wreck a budding career. I had one recently that I had to abandon for the same reason. I can’t read 500 pages of your jumpy type, no matter how much I wonder how it ends. Ugh.

Until later,

Kelly

There’s one book, *Rush Home Road,* everyone recommends to me. But every time I open the novel, I just can’t. I HATE the font they used!

A lot of people don’t—it’s a shame, because good ones are so readily available.

Thanks for your comment and welcome to MCE!

Chris,

Welcome. Glad you enjoyed the post!

Kelly

Nice looking site. I look forward to reading your blog.

Let me know what you think – I’m always trying to collect neat and useful programs like this one. Maybe I’ll have to do a blog post about it, or start a new blog

Wow, that’s pretty neat. I just took a look, and I ‘m going to try it out. He doesn’t show how it would look by using it on his intro pages… they’re just standard web pages! Funny.

Yes, we are guilty, aren’t we…

I agree, I sat down with a nice book the other night, and am looking forward to many more nights over the next two weeks. I agree, too, the text on the MB is great. I also use a few reading applications to make it better (one of my favs is Tofu – it is free at http://amarsagoo.info/tofu/ ) and once installed, you can move text from a browser (or whatever) to it using the Services menu.

Tres cool.

Sowing the seeds of our own destruction here on the incredibly type-limited Internet, lowering the understanding of a fine face, getting folks used to holding a laptop instead of a good book?

Uh-oh. The type-lover’s dilemma, right there.

Keep reading the real thing (even though the MacBook is awesome)!

That is a nice font, I agree – and the video, very cool. I like this sort of thing. I’m afraid that someday good type will be lost, because people stop reading – I hope not though.
