Hi,
Tried \usepackage{microtype}, result looks quite nice. Much less
overfull hbox-es. Maybe I could reduce the left & right margins a little
to get to about 60 letters per line (or is this a sin, even for A5?)
The margins are adjustable because they are meant to be. :-)
You can reduce them a little, but take care so it don't get ugly.
Also consider adjusting the top/bottom margins by the same
percentage as the side margins.
There is no single standard for the margins on A5 or any
other paper. About 66 letters per line is considered
optimal. More, and the reader gets trouble finding the next
line. Less, and he has to move his eyes a lot, and you get
trouble with the line breaks.
A smaller font will also help, but may cause readability problems.
