Thanks for posting. I'm not going to be much help to you, though. I haven't got the slightest idea what font I use or what size I wrote Slacker, or any other of my books, in. That goes for the printing of the books too, which I have nothing to do with. Sorry, Sadie, I just haven't a clue. The computer keyboard types and it's big enough for me to be able to read it. And I trust my publishers to do the same with my published books. That's as scientific as I can get on the subject.
Sorry. I hope you'll read many more of my books. LEVEL 13 is the sequel to SLACKER.
