I got a number of compliments on the appearance of Getz and
Haight's book ``Population Harvesting,'' which I set for
Princeton using Autologic's Baskerville for the text, with
TeX math fonts.

(Pardon me if it sounds like I'm blowing my own horn, but
Knuth, the designers of Baskerville, and the book designer
at Princeton should get all the credit; I just followed
instructions.)
