BEFORE CUTTING THE PAGES THE READER HAD BETTER
BEWARE OF THE KNIFE HE WILL BE WIELDING FOR THE
PURPOSE. SOONER THAN MAKE SUCH A GESTURE I WOULD
PREFER HIM TO HOLD BACK THAT WEAPON, DAGGER,
PIECE OF OFFICE EQUIPMENT WHICH, SWIFT AS LIGHTNING,
MIGHT TURN INTO AN INDEFINITE SKY. IT IS UP TO THE
ATTENTIVE READER TO FIND OUT WHAT DEVILISH MOTIVE
INSPIRED THIS BOOK'S PUBLICATION. TO THAT END HE MAY
MAKE USE, IF NEED BE, OF SELECT READINGS FROM
TODAY'S PROFULOUS OUTPUT. THESE PAGES MUST NOT BE CUT.
