I do not have need for the math, do you still recommend them?

Beautiful, indeed!

Btw, I was thinking whether Fonts in ConTeXt book is still relevant (from the
ToC I conclude it deals with MkIV) aand/or provides enough info so that in case
I buy some 3prd party fonts (I am considering something from
https://mbtype.com/) I'll be able to configure ConTeXt to use them?

Similar concern in regard to layouts and the other book...but, I believe that
both are very useful in any case and ordering them is a small appreciation for
the work done for ConTeXt.


Sincerely,
Gour
