Hi Everyone

I have just released my web site (http://www.virginwoodtype.com) and I invite your comments, suggestions and hopefully orders.

I have started a new business supplying wood type to letterpress printers and wood type collectors. This is new hand made type using historical patterns. Right now I am offering 5 typefaces and am adding more faces every week or so.

In late October I acquired most of the production capacity of the American Wood Type Manufacturing Company which stopped making type in 2001. It has been a busy few months.

Last week I received a 12 line font of Shadow from VWT. It’s great type and I highly recommend supporting Bill’s efforts!

I also purchased a font of 12 line Shadow from Bill and it has printed great.

Bill, thanks for all your efforts.
