Print is Dead
Cf. permanent failure of digital publishing.
The person who designed the interior must have been decidedly cranky. One could complain about setting it in a sans-serif, but that’s just typical for British books of this sort. The margins are the main issue – they are tiny; either they are meant to mimic an ebook (which is cruel), or they are jab at the bibliophilic reader and say ‘see, just because something is in print doesn’t make it a pleasure to read’ (which is worse). There are other issues, but perhaps you will want to explore them for yourself.
