From the prospectus: "Initially conceived as a way to document a growing collection of wood type which eventually filled some 53 cases with some 75 fonts. Then realizing that there was too much type (not a bad thing), for a single volume showing alphabets, figures, punctuation marks, as well as whole words, I decided to devote the first volume to figures which is what printers generally call numerals or numbers. Volume 2 is planned to be complete alphabets, with volume 3 for words, phrases, and declarations.". Caliban Press (illustratore).
