The one thing that bothers me is the whole first chapter. The point of the book is to give advice on typography. And the point of the first chapter is to tell the reader that the writer has to get to the point or else it's a waste of the reader's time: > Writing as if you have un­lim­it­ed read­er at­ten­tion is also dangerous, be­cause run­ning out of read­er at­ten­tion is fa­tal to your writ­ing. The goal of most pro­fes­sion­al writ­ing is per­sua­sion, and at­ten­tion is a pre­req­ui­site for per­sua­sion. Once the read­er’s at­ten­tion ex­pires, you have no chance to per­suade. You’re just giv­ing a mono­logue in an emp­ty theater. Well, then... Don't write that chapter and let's get down to business! I guess I'll skip that chapter. Edit: Oh boy. I hadn't read about Violet's and Trixie's resumés. I like typography and give it a great deal of thought in every digital undertaking; but I will surely not hire Trixie because she used a better template: she gives less information and the whole resumé feels like it has as much negative space as content. When, and if, I hire someone, I want information, not thin air. Edit 2: Another thing, regarding the 1.25 to 1.45 line-height he recommends. I feel like it's a lawyer's thing. Anything smaller than 1.5 looks very clamped, and most times people use 1.5 to 1.75. Kudo for the font size though. My poor eyes are grateful.
