or an anxiety for the book in the late age of print. the book is now 
a designed object, something expressing delight and wonderment, 
precisely because it is no longer sufficient to be merely a book 
(with its protestant black on white of a perfectly *functional* 
typography). This is the book as a fetish, like a nice pair of 
shoes...
