most books shouldn’t have introductions—they press heavily on the volume. most frontmatter is terrible. you need a title page and maybe a dedication. after that, it should be page one. table of contents belongs at the back unless the work is structured hierarchically.

as a rule, I skip all introductions and front matter set in different type than the main text. If they didn’t even re-set the type, no way the extra intro they comissioned will be worth anything.

So you’re saying the way to stop typography nerds from reading things is to vary the fonts randomly? Hmm *makes note*
