At re-type's weblog we have published a lengthy interview with Piet Jacobs who worked at Enschedé foundry for many years and, at his own private press, published the autobiography of Paul Rädisch.
I think those interested in Dutch type history and how things were done at Enschedé will like this text:

Thanks for the compliments. I am glad you found the interview interesting and that Piet can get more in touch with younger generations.
The the coming months I will publish more interviews to type personalities who I think deserve more exposition or have compelling stories to tell.
About the English version of A tot Z, I think at some point we could try to fund it via crowdfunding but at the moment I am with too many projects on my desktop and I can't take another one. If you know of a potential editor, let him know about this possibility. It would make a nice booklet and there are good unpublished images that could be used to illustrate it.
I even bought 3 fonts Cancelleresca Bastarda from the foundry with special hand fit characters
