"who didn't get the whole V=U thing...Bolshiest bunch of printers I've ever come across"

As a Printer/Printmaker, I find that irritating.

Try being the writer/publisher!

Not to derail the topic, but, I could maybe understand the using V instead of U might seem a bit, dare I say, tacky, nowadays, but, seeing as it's essentially targeting a specific audience who'd "get it", maybe not such a big deal. Typographers [used to] be pretty clever, if obnoxious, in their linguistic knowledge and humor.

I just put it down to their being part of Amazon (and all that entails) and gave in not-quite-graciously. There are four words Amazon needs to remember: this too will pass.

…At least they're not using Papyrus as the font…?
*shrug*

I almost wish I'd used Comic Sans ... ;-)
