                Artificial 
                    Poetry, a collection of light verse by Winthrop Aldrich, 
                    was published in 1981. The display type was handset by Walton 
                    Mendelson. Each verse is unique in length and width, and was 
                    optically set to work in spreads.  |

                At that time, most binaries 
                    considered a book this size a juvenile book, and it had to 
                    meet certain design and production standards that are not 
                    as tightly adhered to today for a book this size. The cover 
                    photograph is by Frank Myers.   |
