Non-Fiction: Design

DESIGN

“The artful appearance,” Vardell writes, “…is also an important factor.  First one considers whether the book is attractive (and) inviting…” 
It would seem that readers do judge a book by its cover.  It is important then, that informational books contain appropriate illustrations that compliment the text and that other graphics be placed appropriately.  Even font size and type are important.
