I'm still waiting for Godot. He promised he'd drop by some time today. Then again, he keeps saying that.

Well done - quick too - you are up tomorrow. 
This was originally a hint for a FSOW I posted a few weeks back, but I thought it was too good to waste on a hint!

I don't have the full explanation though.
Book the Font = definition, Times New Roman common font in book printing
Caesar = Roman
birth = New
paper = Times
announced in = ?? reverse words ??
Ok... Take two... Maybe it works more like this?
Caesar's birth = New Roman
paper = Times
.. announced in .. = Times New Roman

|
|
Pretty close: think punctuation:
"Caesar's birth announced in paper!"
"Times: New Roman!"
"The Times" is a newspaper in many countries...

Times New Roman was a popular font for books (and many other publications, including internet web sites that couldn't find Comic Sans), and you could "Book a font" for the baptism of a newborn.

Probably would have been better to leave out the article. "Book the font" is not really a fair representation of "book font".

No it isn't! You don't hear sergeants major crying out "Present the arms!"
OriginalGriff wrote: Misdirection
This isn't misdirection. It's lies. Damned lies! The misdirection is already there in the use of 'book' as a verb in the surface reading while getting the answer requires it to be read as a noun and the suggestion of the 'wrong' meaning of 'font'.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
