This is the second time today for me that Vellum came up. Thanks for sharing this. You hammered a few points home, descriptively informative as per usual. I didn't really know/think about page color. For some reason, I assumed white paper was the more expensive option and that was why most things are printed on cream colored paper. Thanks for doing what y'all do. #risingtides
There's no cost difference between white and cream paper, it's just that cream is less of a strain on the eye.
I love Vellum, but it is definitely the most expensive option for desktop publishing, especially if you don't already have a Mac computer. Atticus is compatible with Windows, will do almost as well, and is less expensive.
Gracious. Rule of thumb in graphic design is not more than three fonts per project, and even that may be a bit much. That sounds like it was very difficult to read!
Page design is "one of life's little oddities." Lots of people have zero interest. But good design makes a substantial difference in readability. Boy, you nailed that! And again yikes, so few people want to talk about it. The discussion can get pretty nerdy, but it's really interesting and helpful. Wish I knew more.

thanks!
This was a far more pleasant read than one about sausage making. Thank you.
I do try to make my articles fun, even when I'm wandering into the technical weeds. Thank you.
Asterisks *** vs +++ for scene breaks?
Yes, thank you!
I reviewed a book consisting of 50 flash fiction stories, each of which was set in a different typeface. It did not get many stars.

It was very irritating. Some fonts were readble but I think a couple were script or blackletter.
