Please try the following exercise:
- download the text of a book from Project Gutenberg
- work up a set of settings/options for a LaTeX document to typeset it as you wish: https://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/memman.pdf https://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/memman.pdf
- typeset the document, look through each paragraph for bad breaks/poor spacing, and if concerned about a 2-up option, check the page breaks to make sure pages are even, and adjust as necessary
The problem is it's _hard_ to detect bad breaks, and problems such as "stacks"
the instance of the same word appearing at the left or right edge of a paragraph,
the paragraph shown here has a four word stack forced to occur at the left of
the text as currently written when shown at a reasonable width on a display
are very, very hard to address while maintaining even spacing, esp. if the text
is fully justified.
