Re: Serif vs. sans serif? (Take Too Many)

["Sharon Burton-Hardin" <sharon -at- anthrobytes -dot- com>]

See Karen Shriver's excellent and comprehensive book "Dynamics in Document
Design" for a well referenced chapter on fonts - including history,
legibility, readability, serif and san. She references all the research and
you can follow up from there if you like.

But the research has been done and available.

it."
