I've moved my novel from MS Word to InDesign. The typography is greatly improved.
I'm using a Mac Font called Baskerville. In MS Word 11 point Baskerville seemed about right. When I print out test pages from InDesign, 11 point Baskerville seems smaller - in fact, too small compared to other hardback and paperback books on my bookshelves.
Is there a rule of thumb in terms of selecting a correct font size? My book layout is 5.25" x 8".
Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.
