While the subject matter appeals, your texts seem burdened w/
elementary errors of text and formatting
hagakure.pdf pg. 44, last paragraph, third line
"No matter whether one be of high or low rank, a family line is
something that
will decline when its trine has come...
``trine''? Surely you mean time?
I guess you're typesetting a Project Gutenberg e-text? IME, they
always need to be proofed carefully. Take a look at, Okakura Kakuzo's
_The Book of Tea_ in my portfolio at http://members.aol.com/willadams
for my experience w/ that. I did, finally get them to accept (some
of) my corrections though.
Your documents also have some orphans and widows, and I've never
liked space between paragraphs in lieu of indentation, and some pages
seem to run short (always do that on a spread---hard for me to check
if you've done that though, since your pagination in the .pdf matches
up the wrong verso / recto, i.e., 43 and 44 face each other in facing
pages view in Acrobat Reader).
You also have some too-long lines (hagakure.pdf pg. 44 has an example
of this).
I'd urge you to read a few basic texts on typography so as to at
least cover the basics before asking for further help. I've a listing
of them in my bibliography on my web site (ob. discl. I'm an Amazon
Associate and may profit).
I'd especially recommend Adrian Wilson's _The Design of Books_ and
Bringhurst's _Elements of Typographic Style_
