Duodecimo. (12)pp. To answer the question posed by the title of this elegantly printed pamphlet, Rollin Milroy found Weiss's "Blaues Papier für Druckzwecke" in the 1959 Gutenberg Jahrbuch. Unfortunately no English translation existed, and Milroy's efforts to get the relevant excerpt translated came to naught, so he turned to AI for assistance - using two different translators with some human editorial massaging. We won't give away the answer here, as it would detract from the experience of reading it for yourself as it is set here in Pablo Impallari's digital version of Cancelleresca Bastarda, embellished with calligraphic flourishes pulled from 18th century writing books, and printed on bluish-tinted Whatman paper. Very fine, in appropriately blue-tinted handmade paper by Reg Lissel, and housed in printed glassine envelope. Prospectus included.
