Although I do not have the book, from the pictures linked in the first post, it really does look like a pretty poor layout.
But, lets be real for a second, everyone is aware that the schedule was tight, the rules have been playtested to the last possible second, so the fact that the book has been printed in time for Gencon is a miracle by itself!
If you ask me, I would much rather have a bad layout than bad rules. This way, the whole community participated in making the rules best that can be, given the situation.
