Font on "For Dummies" book series?

I have the font for the part of the logo which actually says "For Dummies". I just need the font that everything else on the cover is typed out in. I thought it was Arial Black Bold for a while then I realized the small differences, but I'm so picky that I decided to ask. Anyone know what it could be? There are a couple characteristics of the font that I've used to try to match it. Note how round the bottom of the lowercase "b". Also note the usage of the lowercase "a". The font they use is the lazy handwritten a most people do instead of the fancy one most fonts use. Sorry if I confused anyone, I'm just really technical about small things and I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

  1. It probably IS aerial or one of the other basic sans-serif fonts, just modified in Illustrator or Photoshop to look slightly different (maybe changed the width or height a bit, or put a small perspective on the bottom). If you have one of these programs, open up the text editor and play with the different options for the other commonly used fonts.
  2. It's Myriad Pro Bold Italic. See http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/myriad/bold-it/
