Thanks a lot, William! I will tell the publishers they should read this. So 
I get letter-spacing info although the posting was about kerning.

Actually, there is just

     C H A P T E R  1

`\kern0.25em' manually inserted. I professional designer I asked said it 
looks bad, at least with cmr at 16pt. It seems to look better with Adobe 
Caslon.

Cheers,

     Uwe.
