I don't think you can convincingly prove that one or the other font goes well
with Optima, and others don't. Something you like may turn others off. It's
as easy as that. Of course there are cases where most typographers would say
that this is wrong, but chances are: If you don't like Times by itself, you
will probably not like in a combination either. I don't think there is a book
that solves your problem, why don't you try the following:
Do it as you YOURSELF like it and then, but only then show it to others. If
most people like it (not only typographers, but regular people) then it is
good.
