[stylist] Writing process

Mon Jan 17 14:26:17 UTC 2011

Hi Marian,
though it's a little dated, my masters thesis included some of this.
I will look for that file and send it to you.
primary issues of difference have to do with the physical experience 
of holding, reading, and perceiving the shape of text, in three 
dimensions.  these provide keys to get back to information that has 
been read.  means the info is more readily accessible for the mind to 
work on it.
hard copy even has smell, weight and sound associated with it.
