I think you offer a great justification for a new approach. I like that.
Maybe to look forward to a single unifying footer in uniform font that runs
the whole band of the bottom of each page that talks about the group, list,
RIT listserver, the gnomes and elves, Andy and that would be the unifying
design that would then permit a book of individuality.

Subject: Re: book appearance - the text page
Just an opinion - I think a book should be consistent throughout, or each
page should be outrageously different (something like books of illuminated
scripts). My next thought is how difficult would we be making the process
of producing this book for Andy and staff if each of us used different
frames and fonts?
I have the book JAPAN COLOR in front of me and although each piece of art
is totally different and even the formats are different, the text is
consistent. Every few pages their is text on 1/2 of the page with large
Japanese characters above and below the script. This ties the book
together.
Just my thoughts.
