  • One criticism focuses on the designer of the book, over whom the publisher's editor (if not Nigel Rees) should have exercised some influence: in a book in which the page numbers are an essential piece of the reference apparatus, they should not be set in the center of the bottom of the page, where they are hard to see when thumbing through, but at the top, as close to the foredge as possible.

  • Had these numerals been set at the foredge of the pages (instead of the page numbers, which serve no discernible useful purpose), finding the proper chapter and subsection numbers would have been greatly facilitated.

  • The difficulty with the reference system is that one cannot tell where to find Chapter 4, say, till he leafs through to the end of 3 or the beginning of 5. It would have helped to have given the chapter numbers in running heads at the book's foredge.
