+\section*{Colophon}
+This document was typeset using the typographical look-and-feel \texttt{classicthesis} developed by Andr\'e Miede and Ivo Pletikosić.
+The style was inspired by Robert Bringhurst's seminal book on typography ``\emph{The Elements of Typographic Style}''.
+\texttt{classicthesis} is available for both \LaTeX\ and \mLyX:

+Happy users of \texttt{classicthesis} usually send a real postcard to the author, a collection of postcards received so far is featured here:

+%Hermann Zapf's \emph{Palatino} and \emph{Euler} type faces (Type~1 PostScript fonts \emph{URW
+%Palladio L} and \emph{FPL}) are used. The ``typewriter'' text is typeset in \emph{Bera Mono},
+%originally developed by Bitstream, Inc. as ``Bitstream Vera''. (Type~1 PostScript fonts were made
+%available by Malte Rosenau and
+%Ulrich Dirr.)
+
+%\paragraph{note:} The custom size of the textblock was calculated
+%using the directions given by Mr. Bringhurst (pages 26--29 and
+%175/176). 10~pt Palatino needs 133.21~pt for the string
+%``abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz''. This yields a good line length between
+%24--26~pc (288--312~pt). Using a ``\emph{double square textblock}''
+%with a 1:2 ratio this results in a textblock of 312:624~pt (which
+%includes the headline in this design). A good alternative would be the
+%``\emph{golden section textblock}'' with a ratio of 1:1.62, here
+%312:505.44~pt. For comparison, \texttt{DIV9} of the \texttt{typearea}
+%package results in a line length of 389~pt (32.4~pc), which is by far
+%too long. However, this information will only be of interest for
+%hardcore pseudo-typographers like me.%
+%
+%To make your own calculations, use the following commands and look up
+%the corresponding lengths in the book:
+%\begin{verbatim}
+% \settowidth{\abcd}{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}
+% \the\abcd\ % prints the value of the length
+%\end{verbatim}
+%Please see the file \texttt{classicthesis.sty} for some precalculated
+%values for Palatino and Minion.
+%
+% \settowidth{\abcd}{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}
+% \the\abcd\ % prints the value of the length
