My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said

I know we have thousands and thousands of letterpress type blocks. I don't know whether the asiatic guy that runs the letter-press would be willing to give them up, though. I'll ask.

Hey, Tracy!

This place is like some kind of Crack... it has some kind of draw to Prepressers.  Just can't stay away.

I started in letterpress and I've always been a font junkie.  Visiting friends in Antwerp, Belgium we went round the Plantin Museum.  Lots of interesting stuff about Christophe Plantin, but there was this one display which featured original matrices hand cut by Claude Garamond himself.  They looked brand new.  I had to sit down for a while.

Yeah, I'd be all about that, too!  :cheesy:  :hello:

Nuptial?
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
― Johnny Carson
