There are trays of linocuts to the right of the Sample Box, and to the left
of all the empty trays.
There are also some smaller dingbats directly across from the empty trays,
up on top of some type trays.
Some of the unsorted type near the Dropsafe has some interesting stuff as
well, though it's more of a pain to look through...
There's a little more paper underneath the table with the stone on it...
(directly across from the press). But not that much.
I know less about where to get paper... Cat was about to order a bunch,
iirc?
