I have been devoured by my curiosity of how to describe the growth pattern of borage: current resources all describe it as cymose, but when i observe mine, it seems to be the opposite: racemose.

I have also been playing with Apple's iBook Author application and have a chapter in a minibook completed, illustrating my confusion.

All is fair, because i have devoured a number of borage blossoms.

Between rest and research, i think i am relaxing.

If you have an iPad and i can demonstrate that i can distribute an iBook without publishing it to the iBook iStore, would you like to read my iBook?

Happy to provide opinions on how those come across to me when you're ready. I did a lot of reading and fiddling before I chose fonts for my book.

Beware of ligatures, though. I actually need to go back and futz with my epub book because I used Garamond and it's using ligatures even though I explicitly told it not to. Which are missing on most people's machines, so all the fi's and ff's etc. are missing. :-P I'm thinking of just making the darn thing Times New Roman or whatever the default is and giving up on having precisely the look I wanted.

If you already have a solution for that, please do tell!
