font size recommended

Can somone tell me what size font is recomended when I am using san serif  at present i am using 8 on general pagea with heading of 10 or 12 ….is that ok or too small ?? it’s hard to tell really.

Please mail me back on soulkiss@blueyonder.co.uk with answer 

I agree. I’ve just received my first book and it looks fantastic. The whole thing is done in 12 point and I was wondering if this would be too large but in fact it looks the same size as in all the professional hard back books on my shelf. 8 point might look ok on screen but I would think you’d be in for a shock when you had the book printed if you stuck to that size.

I’m making my first book in traditional Chinese font. Has anyone tried this before? What’s the minimum size for a chinese font (so it won’t come out blurry…)?

Thanks ;)

Thank you, Leah. What you were saying is indeed very true.

I think ’print and see’ is good. So I’ll do it and see if it looks ok. But this will depend on the printer quality I suppose?

Thanks for your reply.

I just got my book. I used 12, 11, 10 and 12 is too big!!  Either use 10 or max 11. At least, that’s whats best for my book and I asked several ppl and all said the 12 was too big.

Rest of my book looks great…but really too expensive here at blurb
