No longer a student, but not yet a professional.
@sol yeah, it should do. You can also future proof it a bit by extending the number of rows that the UNIQUE and VLOOKUPS are referencing, so if your original tables get taller, your final table will still work.

@sol not sure if it’s the most efficient way, but you can use the UNIQUE function in order to create a combined list of all of your codes in the left hand columns. Once you have that, you can then set up a VLOOKUP in each cell of your combined table in order to find the relevant values in your original three tables. If the empty values return errors, you might also want to include something like an IF statement combined with ISERROR in order to make everything look neater.

Hopefully that helps!

@blag Yeah, I need to order some paper samples and get testing. Thanks for your help, really appreciate it!

@blag And it still kind of snaps to the divider pages when you flick through the pages? I was expecting it'd need more of a difference than that, so that's very useful to know.

(I'm not sure snaps is the right way to describe what I mean, but hopefully you get the idea...!)

@blag Nice! Do you know what the difference in weight was between the munken and colorplan was?

Very specific, but does anyone have any experience in making a perfect bound book with some divider pages in a thicker stock than the rest of the book block?

Would the book ‘snap’ to those thicker pages, and help the reader find the start of each section quickly?

@elliscarsonjones earlier this year, @wordsoftype had a workshop called Introduction to Font Engineering, which was excellent.

I'd say it was more than simply an introduction. More like a step by step guide on how to engineer your fonts to a high standard. Tailored to Glyphs, but the principals are universal.

It was taught by @rosaliewagner who is extremely knowledgable and was very patient with all of our questions.

I'd definitely recommend signing up if the workshop runs again in future.

@blag The episode of The Indicator podcast from the 3rd of September has a good explainer of why this is happening: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510325/the-indicator-from-planet-money
A classic #LTypI

@khaled As well at the Transport Museum located in the city centre, tours and open days are held at the Transport Museum Depot (approx 45 mins journey from the centre) where you can see more stuff, including a lot of signage.

The V&A also holds some work by Edward Johnston which you can book to view in their reading room.
