Description:Perfect bound artists' book; yellow cover. "In watching words move, we looked at the words and did to them what they themselves suggested. The notebook was a demonstration of how the designer, using only the simplest means, can make certain words more evocative, and expressive of feelings, thoughts, and suggestions. In other words, words can have personality, and they don't need special typefaces or funny hats to do so." - Introduction
