One of my favorites is Robert Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographic Style, which includes this rumination on the sanctity of the title page: Think of the blank page as alpine meadow, or as the purity of undifferentiated being. The typographer enters this space and must change it. The reader will enter it later, to see what the typographer has done. Lines like this refresh my understanding of the task at hand and clarify my sense of purpose. Carolina de Bartolo's book, Explorations in Typography, has a similar effect, albeit via entirely different means. --typographica.org
