Victor I like Storm's John Baskerville. It's quite similar to Monotype Baskerville, but it's got more oomph (and fewer hairlines, thus less contrast between thick and thin strokes). It's quite close in look and feel to a hot-metal printed Monotype Baskerville Series 169. It has wider letter spacing than either Baskerville Book or Baskerville BE (though similar to ITC New Baskerville and Monotype Baskerville), and has a larger x height than any of them. OS figures are also part of the base font, which is nice. Cheers, Dominic
