Little project with LaTex

Been playing around with LaTex and came up with this and was wondering if other people though it was close to the old books or not?

The LaTex files need certain fonts which aren't public domain to work and the files are very rough and ready as well a work in progress, but enjoy the ouput.

Yeah, you're definitely on the right track. The fonts aren't a 100% match, but they are close enough to give the same feel. I can't wait to see how this project develops.

Aside from the cover page and the blue links, I'd totally have bought this as being a scan of a 30 year old book.

Thanks for the kind words it's Eras Bold for headings and Cheltenham Std book for the text which is a close as I can get.

The project is slow going as I keep changing what I want to write but it's moving forward right now.

I had a short splatbook that took me years to finally release. I know what you mean.
