Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many years. Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book.

Christopher Morley
There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.
Christopher Morley
