Group:

I don't often weigh in in this group, but I read all the messages.

On the point of readability, however, I have strong feelings, having
been a writer and editor and publisher for more than half a century.

The best advice I can give anyone who is choosing type for a
publication that they intend for someone to read is a) use no sans-
serif type, and b) refer to probably the best book on the subject I've
ever found--Betty Binns. Better Type. New York: Watson-Guptill
Publications, 1989. ISBN 0-8230-0484-8.
