Now that OUP book is a different kettle of fish. The css link is there, but I get the impression that the css actually... doesn't contain any style *for* the paragraphs.
Consider this: the text in the xhtml looks like this:
Quote:
<p class="para">And then, bowing and wishing her good morning, he glided past her.</p>
<p class="para">Cecilia, notwithstanding the openness and purity of her intentions, was so much disconcerted by this unexpected meeting, and pointed speech, that she had not the presence of mind to call him back and clear herself: and the various interrogatories and railleries which had already passed between them upon the subject of Mr. Belfield, made her suppose that what he had formerly suspected he would now think confirmed, and conclude that all her assertions of indifference, proceeded merely from that readiness at hypocrisy upon particular subjects, of which he had openly accused her whole Sex.</p>
<p class="para">This circumstance and this apprehension took from her for a while all interest in the errand upon which she came; but the benevolence of her heart soon brought it back, when, upon going into the room, she saw her new favourite in tears.</p>

But the CSS (which I attach here, as a txt-file since it won't work for me otherwise) doesn't actually contain any style defining the characteristics of the para class, does it?
Or is there something else wrong?
I'm not sure it's easy to remedy. If I added something to the css in order to make paragraphs behave more book-like (no blank spaces and indentation for paragraphs), probably some paragraphs that *are* actually suppoed to have blank lines in between will suddenly also be glued together. I think this entire e-book was just not correctly set up from the get go.
