Objet: Re: [Omega] [OT] typography conventions



Dear Yves/Ian -- I have had my copy for a week or so now,
and I cannot speak too highly of this book.  Not only does
it manage to take on board virtually all of my "book
design for TeX users" in its opening chapters, it gives
guidance on typesetting books in the vast majority of
the world's languages.  A truly essential book for
anyone preparing a typescript, for copy editors,
for proof readers, and (IMHO) for TeX users everywhere!

A real review to follow when I have actually reached the
end of this magnificent book.

The new version of "Hart's Rules" is "The Oxford Guide to
Style," Oxford University Press (April 2002),
ISBN0198691750.  But I don't know whether it's good or
not.
