I switched from two to four spaces ages ago [1] and stayed there, but 
being an author I can fully appreciate the reason for using two spaces 
in a book (and the need to balance name readability with the available 
horizontal space).

[1] I think I used eight spaces in early assembly language code, but you 
don't need indentation there.

Well, it's just a convention, probably not deserving the number of 
messages written about it (including this one).
