Benefit here is all open source tools :-). (Well, except for the font... I've been using Adobe Caslon for that, but that's easily enough changed.) |

In this particular case, the choice of chapter treatment does not appear to be out of line with respect to the book: chapters seem pretty short, so keeping 'formal chapter indicators' (such as new pages, text 'chapter', and this and that much white space) fairly low seems motivated. Far too many widow lines, the apparently gratuitous mixing of very disparate typefaces in the first line of every chapter, as well as several very bad hyphenations, grate more on the eye, I think. As this is an automatically produced book, only the typeface issue can be fixed. Bad hyphenations can be avoided, but it usually takes lot of manual work to do that, and widows almost always need manual tweaking of pages. |
