#2The original 1979 edition of The Neverending Story was printed in two inks (red and green) depending if the action was set in the real word or in Fantastica. I wonder if more books use this technique?

#3Are there any books that use different fonts or font sizes to convey for example feelings of a character? Large bold font when they feel strong; tiny, scribbled text when they feel frightened, and so on?
There might be a few things that could be explored here, turning a book from a simple way to present text into an indispensable part of the piece it contains.

And that full page NO.

Not for emotions, but House of Leaves makes excessive use of different fonts and typesetting techniques to interesting effect.

Check out House of Leaves. Some sections have text in every orientation possible. A engrossing and difficult, but rewarding, read. I now want to read it again.
