| summary: | This is a book written with attention to detail. The author takes the trouble to explain not just how things are to be done but why. For example, when talking about adjusting line spacing in headlines, mention is made of the optical illusion that lines of text are closer if there are more ascenders and descenders intruding into the gap between them. |
