seeing as Christmas is fast approaching, I've been looking for ideas and was wondering what kind of type-related presents people have been thinking of giving/wishing for?
I was feeling nostalgic and did some Googling only to discover this one time $400+ type designers jewel is now essentially selling at cover price once again, and there are a TON of 'em :D
I'm still waiting for Mr. Moye to publish his updated version . . .
That reminds me, maybe if I drop enough hints I’ll get those House Industries Girard blocks for my birthday this year since nobody bought them for me last year. If I get those and the 1912 ATF catalog I asked for in the same week I might just die of delight.

Room and Board is selling framed wood type 'scultpture/art'.
It's not for sale online, but it's in their showrooms.
I can't tell if they are nice, or an insult. Seems a waste of perfectly good wood type!
House's Girard Alphabet blocks are real nice, if a bit spendy for play blocks:

Why limit your t-shirt choices to a single face like Helvetica when you can pick from dozens of your fave sans and serifs?
