This has driven up the expense of producing books. In some cases Island Press has simply had to absorb the extra costs itself rather than passing them onto consumers, according to Mr Miller.Initially he wasn’t sure about Sustainable Typesetting. But after seeing that a 19% reduction in pages could lead to at least a 10% cost savings, while readability actually improved, Mr Miller has become a fan.
Sustainable Typesetting has been applied to two Island Press books published so far. And he’s interested in going even further than a 19% trimming.Mr Miller calls this a technology that is “only starting to poke its nose out behind the door” within different segments of the publishing industry.“It’s a sort of revolution in thinking about what typography can be and how it can be put to use in a very productive way.”
