But for an adult book? Absolutely not. Any variation in a readable typeset is goofy and it certainly would not make me interested in the book. It would be totally counterproductive and I'd dump the book in an instant.
If a book's text (the actual WORDS) aren't sufficient to pique my interest, forget it.

ALL the dialogue was in italics. Not just specially related dialogue, but all the speaking from all characters. So instead of using simple quotes "I love you." it was paragraph after paragraph of italicized font!
Highly annoying!
This is a new British printing. Does anyone know if italicized dialogue is a new trend in British typography? If so, it needs to be stopped.
