Wonderful story!! Your bookbinder is a delightful curmudgeon and the whole discussion of the golden section made it very tempting to launch myself into the Wikipedia article and never emerge again after wandering around in equations for a while. And arranging the story to match the "canon" is just amazing. Funny how the human brain seems to yearn for that kind of symmetry.

*heaps praise on your head for all your work on this project* I know that we can never thank you enough for all you put into this project, but rest assured in those hours before dawn when lie awake and wonder if anything you do
can push back the dark, this book is a beacon to what love can build.
