It is not unusual for there to be no isbn number in older books, like 1944.
Put asterisks (I use 2; I think some people use 3--maybe even one; no set
number has been established-- between sections where there are line spaces. You
don't have to do anything between paragraphs. I agree that for those with sight
it sometimes is difficult to see that there's a new paragraph, depending on
the font used. I also find it hard to tell whether there is a space between
two words in some fonts. Therefore when I'm proofing I enlarge the text to
250, sometimes even larger. I realize that if there is no space between the
words that spell-check will find that error, but I like to be able to see the
space myself without having to peer closely at the screen.

The book I am proofing does not appear to have an ISBN on the copyright
page; is that unusual for a 1944 book?
It appears tabs/indents are only 2 spaces in this scan for new paragraphs
with no empty lines in between paragraphs. To my eye, that makes it hard to
read on a computer screen. Is that standard? I would love to use my tab
key, but I am thinking that is like 5 spaces. Or, add a blank line between
paragraphs. FWIW, my eye sees text as my husband and daughter, both
physically handicapped, do, since they read actual text instead of using
text to speech. Sometimes I forget to think about ramifications to people
who are blind. I know sometimes the two are in conflict. <smile>
Thanks!
