From the Back Cover

Compression means making things smaller by applying pressure. Text compression is not about physically squashing text, but about finding ways to represent t in fewer bits or bytes. It is necessary that the coded form can be decompressed to reconstitute the original text ( otherwise, compression is trivial!), and it is usually important that the original is recreated exactly, not approximately.
