Thanks!
So far I've just taken a look, I'll read it when I can. I can see
several warnings in red. The look of the text is really nice!
Elegant, and the images are good and necessary. Are you going to
write a book with all pages coloured? If true this will increase the
book price, I think.
Thanks. Unlike most authors, I provide camera-free to the publisher and
carried all of the page design myself. I'm very glad I did.
The book will be in black and white. Notice how every use of color is
also accompanied by a color-independent cue (e.g. bold/slanted). But the
book will also sell in electronic format, which will be color.
I have seen that you use a nice fount for the
nonproportional text (like code), it looks similar to the Consolas.
You may try this one too (but it's not a professional product, it may
have some rough details):

I did consider Inconsolata seriously, but I had to reject it (I forgot
why; all I can remember was that it was a good reason).
