Some time ago, I actually tried to make the layout of each book exactly the same, especially if they were part of a series. Think of setting the indent to 1em, using the same scene breaks, and so on.
Buying 250 Forgotten Realms books cured me of that particular version of OCD, because most of them were formatted perfectly, all be it differently. After doing two or three series, and still having like 240 books to go, I though: "Njaaah, what the heck..."
Now I only check and fix the following:
- Series must have matching covers.
- No whitespace between paragraphs.
- Indents must not be huge, and not be tiny. (1em-2em)
- Text must be justified.
- No errors reported in the Calibre editor (fixes are mostly automatic).
As the years go by (only 4, in my case) I am fixing less and less. The one thing I almost always have to fix is the matching covers. Sometimes I need to fix text justification, the editor fixes some errors automatically, but the rest is often good to go nowadays.
