      RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press has published a second edition:

      This new edition is enhanced by the addition of a letterpress-printed broadside designed by Zapf. The insert was typeset and printed at the RIT Cary Graphic Arts Collection using its collection of rare metal “Virtuosa” type—Zapf’s elegant script face originally released by Stempel Typefounders in 1952.
