I’m reading one of the Gateway science fiction Omnibus Editions published by Gollancz – which seems to have sacked Victor. My eyes keep being clobbered by apostrophes within words.
The contraction “we’d” is printed as “wed” with an apostrophe stuck in the space above the “e” and the “d”. Other contractions, such as “it’s” are treated the same. It’s as if Jouve (UK) of Milton Keynes, who did the typesetting, think apostrophes are somehow unworthy of their own space.
