I see there is a note at the bottom of the next-to-last page, just before the blurb about the Green Press initiative; I had missed that before. I was really surprised to hear that it's 10-point, but I think your explanation is right: It just "looks" smaller than something like Times Roman or Arial or Trump. The leading doesn't surprise me, though, because there does seem to be a good bit of space between the lines. I worked for newspapers for about a quarter of a century, and the standard there was 9-point type (Times) and 10-point leading, so the spacing in books always looks ample to me. Thanks again. -- Bob G.
