Page layout

The page layout in this edition is very simple. There is no blank page separating chapters. At the top of every page on the left side is the book title A Century of Dishonor and on the right page is the chapter or section title. The beginning of each chapter has the chapter number (i.e. CHAPTER I) in larger font and all capitals. Directly beneath this is the chapter name in the same size font as the chapter text itself and all in capitals as well.

Since this is a printed book there is none of the beautiful artwork found in many Medieval manuscripts or even in some printed books. No illustrations, drawings, rubrication or color printing are included in the book. Page numbers are on every page and are at the top outside corners of the pages. This book was meant to be taken seriously, almost like a report, with no embellishments to distract the reader. The font is similar looking to modern day Times Roman font.
