bear,

Please don't despair or whatever word is accurate on this font size stuff. I am actually having much to be grateful for as the book appears to be of an artful quality as it is returned compared to what it was when it left my sphere of influence.

I will do as instructed to reduce the heavy lifting (key presses) required to normalize symbol sizes.

Seriously, the book is taking shape as a work of art in my opinion. I mean that from a perspective where art does not have to make sense, it just is what it is, it has an artful quality to it, something that is beyond measure by scale or dimension.

At this moment my brother Jack is dealing with the loss of his wife, this is the same guy that sent me the 100 dollars to help me move the book further toward publishing. The relationship he had with his wife is now ended, and the 2 children, both adults now, are so far managing, as far as I can tell. The book may be worth something to him, at this point, or worth less to him, and I can't know yet.

Jack has always been the artist in the family. If he approves of the book, once it finds its way to print and then into his hands, I can have more angles of view with which to evaluate the fruits of our combined labor.

So this book has outlived my mother and my sister-in-law.

It is something that can be a real book some day, God willing, and if it is art, as I think it is, then it is well worth doing as far as my understanding of value is concerned.

Thanks
