Traditional physical book forms have interesting & charming elements that add to the aesthetic pleasure of holding/reading a real book. One is the colophon, a note at the end of a book that gives information about the printing. In early books, before there were title pages, the colophon was the only place to find this information. In modern times, colophons are found in books printed by private presses devoted to printing books as works of art, rather than as a commercial venture.
