A book consists of five elements: text, font, printing ink, paper and cover. Our wish is to create a unit out of these elements that naturally convinces, that does not serve a fashion trend but strives for timeless value. Free from coincidence and mood, as far as human conditionality is able, these works know only the goal of fitting in worthily into the high heritage that is given to us in hand and responsibility.

But I must explain to you how all this misÂtaken idea of deÂnounÂcing pleaÂsure and praiÂsing pain was born and I will give you a comÂpleÂte acÂcount of the sysÂtem, and exÂpound the acÂtuÂal teachÂings of the great exÂploÂrer of the truth, the maÂster builÂder of huÂman happÂiness. No one reÂjects, disÂlikes, or avÂoids pleaÂsure itÂself, beÂcause it is pleaÂsure, but beÂcause those who do not know how to pursue pleaÂsure raÂtioÂnally enÂcounÂter conÂseÂquenÂces that are exÂtreÂmeÂly painÂful. Nor again is there anyÂone who lovÂes or purÂsues or deÂsires to obÂtain pain of itÂself, beÂcause it is pain, but beÂcause occasÂionalÂly ciÂrcumÂstanÂces occur in which toil and pain can proÂcure him some great pleaÂsure.
