BIBLIOGRAPHY
The Interior Life uses three different fonts, to represent the three "worlds" in which it takes place. The original Baen publication used fonts that probably looked fine to the typesetter, but were indistinguishable to the average reader. The online editions now display three fonts that are easier to tell apart. Which version you download will depend on whether your e-reader is a Kindle or not.
