From Constance to Fifi: The Loves of My Life, 1985

 Item
Identifier: CC-17960-18330
Scope and Contents

The love is actually for a fount of Atlas type. When Charlotte Garry wrote to John Crombie saying she didn't understand the book, he patiently wrote back, 'it is designed, essentially as a diversion for typographers: the cover and first page show a complete fount, the lay of a case of type. On each successive page, a number of letters have been removed: those required to compose a particular name. Ten pages, ten names - from Constance to Fifi. Of course, it's really just a pretext dreamed up by me to show off the Atlas type, an old case of which I'd just acquired by chance.' -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
