"In 1984 I began collecting material for a book examining how often and why we (as humans) have gone to war. Rather than write or commission the text, I selected quotations and worked them together typographically using the wood and lead fonts available in my studio. The book was also a means to improve my letterpress printing technique. The book is essentially a collection of broadsides with the emphasis on two-page spreads. The German Medieval binding technique was selected because it did not take any space away from the two-page spreads.". -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
