Len,
Thank you for the response. I looked briefly at the galleys, but didn't
see anything clearly labeled as Garamond 8pt. I checked with the brother
this job is for, and she was fine with subbing in Cloister O.S., which is
what I did.
I will be happy to help distribute type in the galleys after I finish and
distribute the type from this job (a set of wedding invitations with 5
pieces).
It would be helpful to know from the pressops who ran the jobs which forms
can actually be distributed, since there are some forms that are quite old
but that still have a card requesting that they not be broken yet.

Have you checked the galleys with set type and mixed up type from old<br>
jobs for Garamond 8pt?<br>
In the tall wood rack to the left of the lock-up stone.<br>
<br>
Clearface 8pt or Cloister O.S. (Old Style) 8pt are close matches to<br>
Garamond 8pt.<br>
<br>
Putting the type in the galleys away would be a big help to the shop.<br>
People often run out of type in a case and it's in those galleys.<br>
<br>
After that, we can talk about you could helping me put my recent<br>
contributions to the shop away.<br>
