At times it was annoying but the quote below helped. Despite your bringing that up as a complaint, word spacing in modern books was not that much of an issue with microjustification being used and most printers having been exposed to the centuries of previous art so other than occasionally disliking a font, book layout was pretty decent. Unlike ebooks, rivers were seldom to be seen.

You may want to take a look at the two sample columns of text on Text justification – issues and techniques for the very noticeable visual differences that more sophisticated justification techniques can make.
