(not used)

Open papers

I aimed for a comfortable page spread that invites reading and clearly shows the various parts of the text
Look at the evidence
John Clute
A dense book of essays and reviews. Clute's erudite, energetic prose actually reads best in long lines, and the need to pack a lot of text into the book meant running-in the essays rather than starting a new page
