PS
I have a box of wood type and lead type and small lead or zinc illustration slugs in my basement. Someday I’ll make that collage. It will be heavy as lead!
I took a course called Typesetting and Book Design and we actually set things in monotype. You really can get the p’s and q’s mixed up. Even poetry, which was an SOB. WonderYoung ful experience. workers in the industry don’t have any idea how it used to be before everything got adjusted automatically when you made one correction, like the proof is a spreadsheet!
Of course the early thrill with global corrections had its downside and laughs too. I remember a book about furniture where someone decided to change the number style from spelled out to figures, forgetting that there was the word “fruitwood” in many places throughout the book.
