Attached is a quick snapshot I took of the book private parts by Howard Stern. All in all I think its one of the funniest books ever written and I think Howard is a lot smarter then most give him credit for. I started reading it over the weekend because on his show (on satellite radio) they are on vacation and playing a lot of old tapes from past years (when the book was written) and it reminded me of them.

My typography point is, (and especially in the earlier years ) Stern had to be so whacky and outlandish to shock people that his stories are enough. It looks like a child's book with the 14 point font used. I think a regular size would have added some class to the way the hard cover looks overall.

Now that he is on uncensored radio, he far more mellow not needing to shock anyone to get attention and I think a better designed style in parts of his book would have caused that growth to come sooner. Does this make sense?
