I really like your work. It would be interesting to see the sources and to
learn the tricks (your used).
The look is great.

Thanks to Hans for the beautiful gift to the World.

One final comment. I think the typesetting is fine, technically speaking,
but, overall, the spacing is too tight. It is not relaxing.
Readers should be more confortable. WHAT IS THE THINKING OF THIS COMMUNITY.

I am not a typesetter, but setting type, good typesetting is difficult to
express. It transcends words. It's about feelings and type.


Personally, I think that Prof.Dr.med. should be typeset differently. How can
we accept Prof, Dr. Med, with not spaces in between, perhaps thin spaces.


Congratulations, however.

 Dear list members,

 My biochemistry textbook has been published by orell füssli as an UTB
 book. I would like to thank all the members of this list, and Hans in
 particular, for their help (acknowledgements in the Thank you section
 of the book as well).

 You'll find a few sample pages under:
 www.ogbasel.ch/context.html (2.5MB)

 Page and margin sizes prescribed by the publisher. The pages illustrate:

 p. 7: The use of inmargin text.
 p. 79: a vignette, in the margin and partially in the text area.
 p. 110: The height of some margin figures  was  large, necessitating
 manual adjustments.
 p. 145: A framed box and a wide table. The large number of enumerations,
 figures, frames etc. made some  typographical sins inevitable (e.g. last
 line on this page).
 p. 155: textbody and margin completely filled
 p. 190: I include this page for Willi and Thomas
 p. 235: Some chapters end with what students really need to know (red
 background). This is the end of the chapter on nutrition
 p. 239: The Toolbox contains framed figures without a legend.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
