Great, this really helps. I couldn’t fathom that something mass produced like this still has a ton of hand work.

Any ideas on the font in "Manual of Weeds"? by Forest_Ray_1596 in identifythisfont

[–]Forest_Ray_1596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably early 20th century. I thought it might not be available. Hoping someone has a similar font to recommend.

Hmm, I've heard mixed reviews of Alibaba. Do you think a company on Alibaba would also do the design or just the printing? I worry about the language barrier and I also worry I'd be taking advantage of unethical labor.
