Where do I report/question a formatting issue in a book?
I just purchased this on sale, and it seems to have different font sizes and spacing, per the screenshot. I can't tell if this is a scanning error, as it's a relatively new resource, or if it (badly) reflects something in the original paper version. You can see larger font with more space between lines at the time, then slightly smaller font with less space between lines.
I also don't know where to post this in the new forums….

mm, this seems to be happening a lot in this book. It switches back and forth with no apparent reason.

Now that you mention it, I noticed it too (same book). It goes along at a normal font size, and then suddenly smaller font, tight spacing. Then, back to regular font/spacing.
I can't see what the pattern is, from a parsing point of view:
- Seems to occur at paragraph level (not sentence or part of a sentence).
- Sometimes a shift to a detailed description numbered/list. Most times, just another paragraph, but shifted fonts
- Sometimes follows a footnote indicator, most times not.
Almost random!

this is the same problem with Alter’s Art of Biblical Narrative, reported months ago, still not fixed

I have Alter in Kindle; no font/sizing issues I've noticed.
