Afternoon Viewing: Fonts and Reading

From the Penguin US description:

Fonts. Obsessed? Couldn’t care less? Either way, they affect the way that you feel about what you’re reading. They’re an added layer of communication that we are often unaware of.

    That was fascinating, William. Most of my older books, especially the novels I inherited from my parents, have a little blurb (usually at the back) describing in which font the type is set. Publishers don’t seem to do that any more — I wonder why not? I believe Library of America still does it.
