This dissertation is primarily concerned withthe presentation of the Text as pure Word, 2 thatis, the process of communication from author toreader, and the vehicle by which this transfer ofinformation takes place, namely typography, orwhat Morison refers to as by far the most potent 3means of communication, The Typographic Book. It is most becoming to see this in line with TheBook of Books, The Bible, remembering that onecould walk the history of printing on the spinesof great Bibles. 4 It also brings forward two othermajor discussion points of this dissertation;beauty and interpretation. These aspects shouldbe present in any discussion about typography,but nowhere so exigent as here. No other bookcan ask such questions of interpretation andtruth, or has had such beauty imposed upon andattributed to it.
