I've been looking at Crimson Text and Cormorant Garamond, with Crimson seeming the least formal of the two, to me, with the Garamond having the more exaggerated upper part in letters such as l and h. I will have to use a free font for financial reasons - at least in the first edition. I guess I'm looking for something which has some of the seriousness of Caslon, but something slightly more 'friendly' and less formal. I'll go back into photoshop when I've chosen a font and change the text in the diagrams. I can see that it's not ideal for books because it's so narrow. It's in TNR because I've always quite liked it and hadn't thought very much about fonts when I started writing - and I hadn't even realised there would be copyright issues with using fonts. Later chapters are a little less dry because they deal more with human experience. As you can see, it's very much a textbook in this chapter. I'll attach the first two pages of the book, which is still needing final proofreading. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply to my post.
