Post excerpt:
The biggest complaint with aggregated book lists, is they are way too western focused. I made a page with some very specific country and author limits at an attempt to correct this. My site aggregates 305~ book lists and uses a weighted min max normalization algorithm. This has been my little side project for almost 15 years now.

# Design Brief: Editorial (with Enterprise Clean)

Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #eceeec;
  --foreground: #000000;
  --muted-foreground: #212529;
  --accent: #c5cdd3;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Libre Baskerville", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Libre Baskerville", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~68%) · Surface #ECEEEC (~17%) · Text #000000 (~7%) · Muted Text #212529 (~5%) · Accent #C5CDD3 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Editorial Serif Headline
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Custom Illustration, Interactive Hero Tool
- Spatial layout notes: Editorial Serif Headline hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Light canvas, dense density) featuring editorial serif headline layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic SaaS hero templates
- Cramped multi-column feature grids
- Neon cyber accents

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
