[BKARTS] A Capital Question

[John Cutrone <JCUTRONE@xxxxxxx>]

Book Arts & Letterpress Lists:

I've got a typographic question for you. I've been pouring over my Robert 
Bringhurst, but to no avail... I still don't feel confident that I know the 
answer for sure. Here is a line of text from a book that we are currently 
designing, pulled directly from the manuscript:


One set lacked the consonant "H", while the other lacked the vowel "A".


I am inclined in my typographic gut to set those two capital letters in 
small caps, with no quotation marks. I'm curious if the typographers 
amongst the lists would agree with that, or if you would use regular Roman 
capital letters. Either way, the quotation marks would get the boot, no?

Your wisdom greatly appreciated,
John
