Yes, Between you and whoever it was before--Caitlyn? I feel thoroughly
forewarned.
I ordered the book and it is in. I've done books before that had a variety of
sizes and types--handwritten notes; newspaper articles; in the case of Misery,
not only handwriting but typewriting with a key that didn't work properly. Of
course, I have no way of knowing if font changes mean anything to some of you
readers. I know italics and bold are retained, but I begin to suspect that
changes of font style aren't noticed by those of you who are blind. At one
point I used a font that was very close to cursive handwriting but I was told
that it wasn't readable. sigh
Well, I'll figure out something, if it's even putting twin's name or "thought"
rather than "speech" before a section.
I love a challenge. And now I'm curious about the book itself. It's a *very*
popular book--all copies are out, so I'm glad I asked early and have one. I'm
putting in another request,though, from a different library.
I expect to finish my war book tonight or tomorrow, but there's no rush. have
a couple of other books to work on in the meantime.
