Well, yes. But if we make P4 the same colour we won't know what they're on
about, will we.

Blue is nice too. (even though "blue book" connotes something else)

I gave Sebastian 3 title pages, one of which does not contain the word
"volume". Assuming that this is the one you mean by "title page
typography", then yes, that's exactly what I'd anticipated. 

I believe that technically speaking bodices are ripped rather than
burst. However, maybe we should save those for P5 (the pentium edition?).

Good to see, btw, that you are hoping to have bound editions to wave at
the May Board meeting. That would be excellent!
