Thus providing me with an opportunity to reproduce
my favorite colophon of all time, from _Science
Made Stupid_ by Tom Weller (a great book that
is, sadly, out of print):

This book is set in 12-point Monotone Bimbo,
with chapter headings in Basketball Overextended.
Both faces were designed by the great Adolf
Pflupfl and are characterized by noble, full-
bodied proportions with complex, slightly fruity
serifs.

It was printed by upset lithophagy on 70-lb.
Tropicana Ivory mislaid Cowabunga Slipshod
Overcoat. The ink came out of a can.

This paper is 100% unrecycled. Whole forests were
leveled, thousands of small furry animals left
homeless, and vast virgin landscapes devastated
to make this book.
