Re: OT: Font suggestions for book?

I have a fondness for Minion or Garamond. I think you can find a free font that 
is similar to these. However, the cost is relatively small, so purchase should 
be considered.

The advantage if Minion and Garamond is that they both have a relatively low 
height to width ratio, making them very readable. If you opt for a free font, 
look for that. Avoid Times, it's narrow, designed for newspaper columns.

 Greetings everyone,
  
 I’m working in FM 8, Win 7 x64 on a book that will be published this Fall. 
 I’ve now been asked to do the book design, in addition to most of the writing 
 and basic template design. The subject matter is primarily financial … it’s a 
 book about the history of taxation. It’s not a scholarly work at all, but 
 rather one designed to “wake up” American teens and young adults to some of 
 the issues involved. Footnotes are used here and there, but more for 
 explanation of background/details than in a traditional sense as references. 
 The book will be published in a standard 6x9 format, paperback.
  
 All that having been said … What are people’s favorite or recommended fonts 
 for such a project. And since this is being published on a shoestring budget 
 with a nonprofit/educational bent, suggestions of free fonts would be most 
 welcome.
  
 Well, thanks in advance!
  
 Best regards,
 Elchanan
