  • "I was captivated the entire time. My friends no longer speak to me because I regurgitate little known facts about type. A+"

    "The opportunity to hear first rate research and information about the history of Typography and Printing in America was unique and simply not available elsewhere. Other participants were equally interesting to talk with."

    "Really something. Opened my eyes and checked something off my life-long to-do list."
