[Eberron] City of Towers, anyone heard this complaint?

[AdmundfortGeographer]

I just started this boook. It was sitting on my shelf for a while waiting for me to get in the mood for game-fiction. It hit me so I picked it up and started reading. I'm loving it, and it's making me want to get a game going in Eberron, if not soon, then I might start some RPGA Mark of Heroes soon to get my fix.

That said, I'm liking it enough that I asked my wife (an avid Sci-Fi/Fantasy reader with few equals) to give it a try when I'm done to get her opinion. She took one look at it and squealed!

"Look at how small that font is! I'd never read a book with a font that small, no matter who wrote it, no matter what it was about."

Anyone else find this a problem?

At the start I felt it was not a standard font, did not have issues reading it and got use to it.

I'm more prone to pick up a book, notice the font is kind of big, and feel cheated, because they're selling the book for too much money compared to the actual word count.

I do remember once in high school, we were assigned to read A Tale of Two Cities and it was such a thin book, I figured I had plenty of time so I didn't start it until the weekend before the test. The font was so small that it ended up taking me several hours longer to finish than expected, causing me lots of stress...

Problem? No, but I wasn't fond of the font size.

I know what you mean. The font size of Races of Eberron is a bummer.

I've never seen a book (and yes, I've read CoT) with a font size that was too small for my taste.

[Seeing that my username is Flyspeck, and I'm the publisher of the Spell/Monster/Psionic Power Cards, that was to be expected.]

 

[Kesh]

Huh. I'm just used to it, I guess. It didn't strike me as difficult to read at all.

The font was wee, but I liked it. It meant more book per page.

Demiurge out.

That only works if you assume that more words equals more book.

 

[Kunimatyu]

THe font size paled in comparison to the freaking feedback card BOUND IN THE CENTER OF THE BOOK. Take the thing out and it feels like you've got two paperbacks glued together.

Not for a guy who has read the small-print edition of Atlas Shrugged...
