On not judging a book by its cover:

For a typographer, reading books can be difficult. If the page numbers are clumsily positioned, then the story has to be very good – to soak up the constant irritation of this mishandled detail. There is a special pleasure that comes with a book that is good in both content and typography. And I think you can often judge a book by the space between its lines.
