So, I had foolishly initially laid out Part 1 before laying out the Introduction—it turned out not to matter, but if you ever decide to lay out a paper book, I strongly recommend you start at the book’s actual beginning, it will potentially save you a lot of time. Anyway, after I did the initial layout of the Introduction and printed it out, I decided that the font was too big, so I took the font down two points.

Those two points reduced Part 1 from 79 pages to 49! So, yeah, as much as I hate the teeny-tiny print, you do want to make the font as small as you can while keeping it readable. (Also a big font makes a book look like a kid’s book.)

I’m looking at this book and realizing that, since it’s nonfiction, the paper version should really have an index. That’s not going to be too much fun to do. But I think I should, because you can’t search it the way you can an e-book.

The font is, of course, Georgia.
