The constantly changing fonts (some of them cartoonish), font sizes and styles may have seemed like a "cute" approach at first but they quickly become annoying. Some pages have the look of a "Ransom Note" made up of bits and pieces cut and pasted from all kinds of sources. This has never been considered a good design paradigm by anyone, anywhere. Pretty sad for a book on DESIGN patterns.
