I’m about halfway through this. I’m enjoying the physical object of the book-the illustrations, the use of color, the superdeep French flaps-but the typography, of all things . . . well, let’s just say that I wouldn’t have put my name on it, if I’d made up these pages. Bad breaks all over the place, and yes, they are distracting.

That said, for such a geeky book, it’s pretty readable. A better editor would have made the thesis more clear from the beginning, but reading it as a mystery (e.g., What Is the Author’s Point?) works, as well.
