Thanks John, and thanks again to you, Maryann, for the additional remarks.
Very good of you, Charlotte, to offer those thoughts and suggestions. You've given a lot of helpful information. In the little checking I've done on my own thus far, I've read some good things about Baskerville font.
Although my manuscript has been shortlisted in a couple of book competitions, and although the senior editors at two well-regarded publishing houses have responded with some generous compliments about my submission, a book deal continues to elude me. I've pretty much given up hope of ever getting a book in print.
Sometimes, however, circumstances change for the better, and there's a strong likelihood that I may have a book of my poetry published by a California based company. If so, I'll have a great deal of input about the formatting of the book, and this is what led to my inquiry on this discussion board.
Thanks again to all.
Richard
