I wonder how much needless strain has been caused by the bonkers typographic requirements for academic dissertations?
(in the US, usually a single column text block on 8.5"x11" with 1" margins—and double spaced! my eyes just slip right off these lines…)

I'm curious, what would better formatting look like?

Typical solutions include:
- use two columns (this is what most journals do)
- use one column and a wide margin for biblio, etc
- print on 6-7" pages, more like a typical book
