Fond memories when I was at university and working for the student newspaper as a photographer. That was when I got hooked on typography. The printer used Linotypes for the text and then we had fun pasting up the pages before photographing them for the offset press. I still have my Canadian Linotype line gauge hanging on the wall (aka pica stick, em ruler, etc.). It is also a great back scratcher!
