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.
