This book is a collection of essays about reading, and I wanted the feel of the book to reflect the joy of reading and a life surrounded with books. With its subject matter, the book needed to be classic in style. Even with the smaller trim size, I wanted to create a book with a very gracious and open page. I find the display face, Mrs. Eaves, and the text face, Walbaum, very satisfying and clear, and I think they convey a pleasant, bookish look.
