Tufte also formats his pages so that they are not symmetric.
Instead, each page is the same and all the marginalia appear on the right
side of each page.
After experimentation, I agree that this option is best.
A symmetric layout appeared strange, to say the least.
Tufte also formats his pages asymmetrically.

I like a lot of what Tufte has done.
At the moment, however, I only use his style in my Calculus class.
I have a good Calculus book, but it requires extensive notes to adapt it
for the high school level.
For my Physics, Chemistry, and Biology courses, the Memoir class seems
more suited.
I wish it were possible to take the idea of margin figures from Tufte and
put it into Memoir.
I also prefer Tufte's method of dealing with margin notes.
