dont want to interrupt the wonderful nomad thread, but am attempting
to track some information.

On p.31 of _The Fold_ Deleuze speaks of "the total book" as the dream
of both Mallarme and Leibniz. while Mallarme's comments on the book
were easy to trace i am having difficulty finding references to "the
book" in Leibniz. anyone familiar with Leibniz? i've read thru _The
Nomadology_ but have come up with little more than a mention of
reading which Deleuze himself cites in note 9 on that same page.

Any suggestions as to where to look would be most appreciated. am
currently working on notions of "book theory" and "bookness" for a
thesis on small press publications. _ATP_ of course offers some
wonderfull approaches to "the book," but would like to see what else
Leibniz has to say.
