GRAFICA Obscura in Print
Paul Haeberli
Aug 1995
A portable printed version of the complete contents of Alpha 0.41 of
GRAFICA Obscura has been produced. This edition elaborates 17 topics,
and lists 24 topics to be added in the future. Therefore, the
book is 17/(24+17) = 41.46% complete.
A small edition of 500 copies was
created using a modified version of NCSA Mosaic to generate
PostScript. A compressed 62 megabyte PostScript file was
FTP'ed to a digital printing service in San Francisco where the
books were printed on a 600 dpi Xerox Docutech printer and bound.
The print version has a fluid user interface, and a high resolution
display that is powered by ambient light. It boots instantly and
is portable and wireless.
This limited edition was distributed at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles in
early August, 1995.
The book is 5.38 by 8.15 inches, with 148 pages, in softcover.
