Prove before Laying: Figuring the Word, 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-29331-30693
Scope and Contents

Drucker writes that this "book is about the constraints and limits of language as a system (within the rules of grammar and syntax and orthography). Drucker uses a single font of type in the center section of each page and a second text printed from polymer plates on the top and bottom of the letterpress print font section. This second text is printed in red and becomes increasingly larger on each page. It "addresses the history of writing as technology, mythology, and cultural form." The title refers to the foundry label on new type that advises the printer to proof the font before setting it. Fifty copies were given to friends and 40 were sold to the public. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
