OT: Font suggestions for book?

[VLM TechSubs]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm not sure whether this post went through, so I'm trying again. 

 

In the past, I've worked on writing, editing, and functional template design, but in general I've left "pretty stuff" such as font
selection to others. So I really don't know what fonts might be most readable, or most popular, or how to pair a body and a heading
font, or the like. Of course, much is written all over the Internet, but I thought that here, there would be people with specific
experience writing and publishing books. So that is why I have directed this inquiry here. I hope it's okay. :)

 

Thanks,

Elchanan

Greetings everyone,

 

I'm working in FM 8, Win 7 x64 on a book that will be published this Fall. I've now been asked to do the book design, in addition to
most of the writing and basic template design. The subject matter is primarily financial . it's a book about the history of
taxation. It's not a scholarly work at all, but rather one designed to "wake up" American teens and young adults to some of the
issues involved. Footnotes are used here and there, but more for explanation of background/details than in a traditional sense as
references. The book will be published in a standard 6x9 format, paperback. 

 

All that having been said . What are people's favorite or recommended fonts for such a project. And since this is being published on
a shoestring budget with a nonprofit/educational bent, suggestions of free fonts would be most welcome. 

 

Well, thanks in advance!

 

Best regards,

Elchanan
