Weblog | I don't like the word blog, it's ugly. Anyway, new content happens here. (Swedish dito)
About me and the site | Twenty-something male who likes text. Obsessed with things such as books, reality, communication, and one or two tv-shows.
Archives | Things written here since... well, 2001. Some of it is good, some is utter shait.
Books | Books read, not books written. So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.
Photo | I like my camera and it likes me.
Links | Outwards, away, flee.
e-mail | J. Nicklas Andersson

The best page in Ben Schott’s Schott’s Original Miscellany is page 152. Mr Schott understands the usefullness of font history, baseline used, what paper the book was printed on and even the points in the dotted tabs (6pt) and the margins of the book itself. This is useful information. Not everyone understands it, but this should be in every book. Perhaps not quite as far as the little snippets of statistics at the bottom of the page, but if included that is allowed as well.
