- 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.
