To cut… or not to cut.
Good illustrations makes it look so easy… such as these concise instructions from The Art & Craft of Hairdressing (N E B Wolters, 1958 edition).

Pay what you want at The Lost Type Co-Op
(source)
A first its kind, The Lost Type Co-Op is a pay-what-you-want type foundry.
Begun a little over two years ago by Riley Cran and Tyler Galpin, originally in a whirlwind 24 hour adventure to distribute a single typeface, Lost Type has blossomed into a full fledged foundry, distributing fonts from designers all over the world.
Users have the opportunity to pay whatever they like for a font (you can even type in ‘$0’ for a free download). 100% of funds from these sales go directly to the designers of the fonts, respectively — Lost Type takes no cut of sales, and holds no funds.
