In the UK, printers' blocks are relatively easy to come by, especially as single letters. I love the more scalloped typeface of this Victorian E which I recently bought for a friend's birthday. She sent me a photo of it 'in situ.' I think its hand-carved appearance is a perfect contrast to the smooth and modern surfaces around it. Great styling, Emma!

me likey- its really pretty.
oh so lovely!
Ooo, gorgeous! I wish I could readily find printer's blocks here ;)
That's so pretty... Yeah I have quite a few printers' blocks (mainly Zs) and a printers block tray too... nothing as ornate as this though :)
Must go back and rummage in my local junkstore to see if I can find more. (You are bad for my bank balance right now!)
Oh lovely present.
Im always tempted to buy some... but as of yet i havent!
Would love a nice collection of different fonts and heights.
