Mac ... <<BIN for $200? With all due respect, you're smoking something!<G> I bought my copy for $4.95 about a year ago from a remainder book dealer and i saw one a Goodwill a couple months ago. and I'll bet they are still around for not much different from that.>> Many years ago someone in the Compuserve DTP Forum (possibly you or maybe Kathleen Tinkel) recommended this book to me. You were also kind enough to scan the "Lee Italic" pages from an old VGC Typositor spec book for me. Using these resources I was able to make a fairly crappy but still borderline useable TrueType version of that font. Recently, I pulled out my copy of the Moye book and spent a little more time with it and made myself a somewhat less crappy TT version of Lee Italic, again using the scans you were kind enough to send me all those years ago. Seeing your name here gives me the chance to once again say "thank you" for the help you provided back then. Lee -- To e-mail, replace "bucketofspam" with "dleegordon"
