Not toooo much, but I will say that feeling inspired by the typesetting helped keep my motivation up for all 299 pages...
Page 9 has a TL;DR footnote. Degree granted.
I totally get that. Even though I spent 50% of my time on a take-home math final writing it in XeTeX from scratch (or "article"), it was still worth it, even if only for the motivation. I love the choice of Minion in your paper, but I needed something more math-friendly so I went with my other favorite: Arno Pro.
Oh, and thank you for including a colophon, I really wish more books did that :)
I was mostly joking ... but procrastination is sometimes valuable in and unto itself.
The typesetting is quite remarkable. If you're going to procrastinate, this is sure a good way to do it.
