I think I've missed something.  What was this book that we're been
talking about?

I have seen cases of extreme "designy-ness" which have pushed the
limits of "good typography" and it worked.  For instance, poetry.

I saw a rather nice booklet set 18/36 in Americana.  Of course, I
wouldn't want to set a user's manual in it...
