"…I was interested to know what typeface combinations were chosen to represent their words. The comparative images in the post show mid-weight members of various type families. Some of the books also use other weights, and a couple of examples use just one type family throughout."(Airey, 2014)
I haven't read any of these books yet so I can't speak for the content, but the titles and use of typography in each books could suggest the tone and detail in each. Almost all books use a combination of serif and sans-serif, with some using italics and slab-serifs. The list is a good indicator of fonts that would suit a print design as all featured are very legible.
