So sorry you had this experience. But your story is very well written. He may have been put off by the fact you are a woman! But go on with your shop at home. The rewards will be worth it! And odds are he will never get a press anyways.  And good luck with the little one!

I have lots of glyphs any particular size, I will get a picture shortly.would 5 of 10pt and 5 of 12pt work?

I would like to trade for 10 & 12pt sans serif “@” symbols.  What do you need?Thanks!Courtney

I was lucky to get a swatchbook from an old printer. I bought the round glass table topper at Target for $20. But a Window glass place can cut you a piece. Or go to a Thrift Store. I have found that I have scratched mine. NA Graphics has everything else. I like the CA wash.Good luck.Courtney
