"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" （一鳥在手，勝過百鳥在林。）

Meaning
It's better to have a small real advantage than the possibility of a greater one.
Origin
his proverb refers back to mediaeval falconry where a bird in the hand (the falcon) was a valuable asset and certainly worth more than two in the bush (the prey).

Above all, his studio is about reclaiming letter as an image. It extends beyond an exercise in quark or a choice of fonts- it is about building a typographic consciousness. A typography that returns to the roots of the picture in the relationship between picture and literature. Only at that level, is "work against the grain of words" meaningful. It requires a particular sensitivity and visual hearing. The most important processes in book design happen at the borderlands of seeing and hearing. For Buszewicz, book design is a unique and timeless process.

[書籍] 荷蘭書籍設計師Irma Boom專訪 (轉錄自扎誌)

2009.8.1  明報╱鄭頌賢(原文載自扎誌 ) 雖已踏入冬季，但那是個暖和的下午，我們一行人擁擠在一家狹窄但富情調的舊書店內，為的就是與伊瑪．布（Irma Boom，爾瑪．布姆）見面。「我常常想，今時今日，誰還會關心書籍設計？我總是不明白為何大家會對我感興趣。」但其實只要看過伊瑪設計的書，就不難明白為什麼。 伊瑪．布來自荷蘭，是當今世界首屈一指的書籍設計師，獲獎無數，更是行內備受推崇的Gutenberg Prize最年輕的獲獎人。由在荷蘭政府發行部工作，到 1991年創立自己的設計室而今，她設計過的書籍達250本，而在眾多作品中，厚 2,136頁的SHV Think Book 1996-1896可謂是她的成名作，單是設計這本書，就花去了她整整5年時間。
