The Bachman Books - 1st Edition - Nal Books 1985

I'm currently taking Typography Hierarchy at the Art Institute of Salt Lake City and was turned onto your site through my teacher. He challenged us to find something wonderful and at the same time irritating with type. So I remembered a book, The Bachman Books, to be precise that was very challenging to read because of the font. The book gives no indication of which font is used, but it makes the eyes very tired and distracted when reading. I was hoping maybe you would know which font it is or if it's simply a curling issue.

Looks like a poorly printed Times Roman with Benguiat Medium Italic running heads

So not gunna comment on the printing -- too heavy JPEG artifacts.

I don't think the font is the problem, I think it's the leading.
