Title: Amateurish typesetting makes reading unpleasant
Review: If you are a bookworm like me, the first thing you will notice when you open this book are the very long lines. Of course this makes reading stressful: sometimes your eyes get lost as you jump from one line to the next. I actually counted around 85 characters (including letters and spaces but not punctuation) per line. Robert Bringhurst recommends from 45 to 75 characters, ideally 66.Also, the margins are so narrow that you need to contort the book to be able to read the letters near the middle.Another sign of amateurish typesetting is that "symmetric" quotes are used.I guess this work is public domain. Next time, instead of buying the cheaper edition, I'll look for a more reputable publisher.This is a review of the paperback edition, and refers only to the typesetting, not the contents of the book itself. (Actually I don't know if I'll be able to read it.)
Is the review positive or negative?
