Interstices & Intersections
In the frantic run-up to the CODEX Book Fair and Symposium,
I have been proofing some early spreads from my upcoming Euclid book.
In the process I have been tossing around some possible title ideas.
Serious contenders thus far have been "Therefore Etc.," "Extreme and
Mean," "Syllogisms," and "Euclid Avenue." For the time being I have
settled on: Interstices & Intersections or, An Autodidact Comprehends a Cube.
Below are samples of what I have done so far, representing Propositions
i.19; iii.1; iv.6; and xiii.17. (The large blank spaces are where
as-yet-unwritten text will go.) Keep in mind that these are early proofs
from a project that has another year, at least, yet in the making, so
anything is open to change during that time. Tomorrow I will bring the
sheets up to Daniel Kelm in Easthampton, Massachusetts so that he can
bind a mock-up for the fair.
