I asked a question. Everyone (almost 90%) said "three volumes!" As is my wont, I will now ignore the majority and do what I want >>>https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1338245379301707777 …

4/ One motivation for this is that I think it's going to be a lot easier to sell a set of two books than a set of three, and this is especially true through retail channels (if I'm lucky enough to place the book w Lowes, Tractor Supply, etc.). Also, there's fall off in sales >

I only know design/typography by osmosis, but I feel like your gutter's a little too tight and the text ought to be justified. Otherwise,
(I'm a backer.)
Is LaTeX an option? (I have no personal experience other than liking its output; just curious.) -
I use LaTeX for TTRPG rulebooks, where automatic ToCs, indices, and cross-references are worth every bit of the hassle it sometimes is to get pretty output. Also handy is the ability to put chapters/sections/etc. in files, and shuffle the whole book by moving include directives.

Garamond seems to have pretty wide letters, maybe there are more space-efficient fonts
-
Space-efficient and readable are near-opposites. I switched some work stuff to Palatino Linotype because it is way more readable than Times New Roman. For sans-serif, I prefer Century Gothic, which has actual circular 'o's and 'c's.
