CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, and a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.

A bit of irony from a scanned book over at Archive.org: a notice to handle the text carefully due to brittle paper.

---
Alsop Peanutworthy notes:

In my experience, poets are much more brittle than the paper they write, type or publish upon. And this was true even in the pre-acid-free era.
