“I have come to believe that large print, thick and heavy paper, and wide margins and oversize leading is indicative of the expected intelligence of the reader. … Compare children's books and books on Web Duhsign or other X-in-21-days books.

“My experience may be different than theirs, readers can identify with trying to save for retirement or their own kid's college fund.
