I apologize for not posting on time, as well as being a bit flustered in class. I was having an extremely stressful day!
What I was trying to articulate in class was that while the design is no doubt beautiful, I find the text difficult to read. The serifs are designed too heavily for my taste. It is interesting to think about the fact that people used to find this kind of text readable, while it is not as easy to comprehend by today's standards.
The overly designed pages are nice to look at for a few pages, but I don't think I would like a book that has these designs on every page. It distracts my eye from the text, and I find myself looking at the images instead of the text itself. The images should reinforce the text, not take away from it!
