Hymn Book - Typography tests

I set up an InDesign template for my football hymn book. It is slightly larger than the "Songs of Praise" book I have been using for reference, with a page size of 86mm x 120mm. I printed a few sample pages, set in classic serif typefaces - Minion, Times New Roman, Perpetua, Baskerville, Garamond and Joanna.

My favourite is definitely Joanna. It is very light and elegant, perfectly suited to a hymn book, and I have it in a number of weights - regular, italic, semibold, semibold italic, bold, bold italic and extra bold.
