+\section*{Colophon}
+This thesis was typeset with \LaTeXe\ using Hermann Zapf's
+\emph{Palatino}
+and \emph{Euler} type faces (Type~1 PostScript fonts \emph{URW
+Palladio L}
+and \emph{FPL} were used). The listings are 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.)
+
+The typographic style was inspired by \cauthor{bringhurst:2002}'s genius as
+presented in \emph{The Elements of Typographic Style}
+\citep{bringhurst:2002}. It is available for \LaTeX\ via \textsmaller{CTAN} as
+``\href{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/classicthesis/}%
+{\texttt{classicthesis}}''.
+
+\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
