	Explores meanings of blank spaces in early modern printed books, noting blanks' significance for publication and act of reading. Discusses production of blank printed forms for early modern bureaucracy, serving as reliable income for printers, including printers of Shakespeare's First Folio and 1609 Sonnets to print such forms. Considers meanings of blank space within lunulae (or brackets) focusing on missing couplet that concludes Shakespeare’s Sonnet 126.
