The page number could in fact go at the top with the chapter name. As it is, the wasted vertical space causes the text to shrink too much when printing 2-up. b) Maybe less font size difference between text and headings. The text feels a little too small for the headings, especially 2-up. But it might get better if/when a) is done. c) The courier font, apart from the being neither visually pleasing nor readable, has two major flaws : it is so thin that it almost disappears when shrunk and it is rather wide, making some lines dangerously close to being cut off. Any of the sans-serif vector fonts listed there would be an improvement : http://hivelogic.com/articles/top-10-programming-fonts I use Inconsolata and I'm happy with it : http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html d) Too much space around the "Tip" paragraphs. No idea how much control you have over these things but there you go. Thank you. --=20 Andr=E9 Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/
