I admit, fiction is my default model when thinking about publishing. Obviously some types of books need more layout work than others.
...on the other hand, go back a generation or two and even information-heavy works like textbooks were much, much more simply laid out. At what point is complicated modern layout just a fashion, a way for publishers to make their works stand out visually and thus charge more for them?
