"Whether for poems or prescriptions, words are tools, to be used in various ways for specific purposes. Once they are down on paper out of their author's head, the job of communication is only half done, for they must then be passed on to their public, which means, the the present context, they have to be designed and printed. Designing for print is a continuation of the work of writing."-- from Chapter 1
