Some time back I recall seeing a message in which someone discussed using fonts available from foundries and recommended certain ones. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find that message. I will probably need one serif font for the text of the book, a plain sans serif font to use for entries in a table, a fancier sans serif font for chapter titles and, possibly a different not-too-plain sans serif font for page headers. Also, I can't figure out how to tell ConTeXt which font to use for page headers.
I guess you know http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts ? Without knowing the subject and/or intended audience of your book I can't suggest suitable fonts. Generally I find Palatino (TeX Gyre Pagella) with Frutiger (in a pinch: MS Calibri) a very good combination, even if rather conservative. SIL Gentium is also a very nice body font, if you like a "soft, human" touch. Linotype Finnegan is a matching sans-serif; perhaps try Libertine Biolinum, if you want a free one. For more technically looking sans's I like LM Sans and URW Grotesk (especially in small sizes). Greetlings from Lake Constance!
