Very nice! It was silly for me to presume you didn't have a copy somewhere, I was mostly giddy to have a copy at all, and wanted to share. Good choice of reading material.
Hello. I got my copy of Penguin Rules from ‘Jan Tschichold: A Life in Typography’ by Ruari McLean. They are also printed in ‘Jan Tschichold: Typographer’ by the same author.
My school has a scanner, and I've scanned that individual page. Mail me: kaa@disroot.org, and I'll reply with a copy of the page. 400 DPI, 4.8MB.
So here I am, with a very huge book on Jan Tschichold, searching the web for a PDF of his composition rules. Guess which site comes second to Wikipedia? https://kaa.run.place/rules.png I'm looking at a reproduction of the original in a physical copy of *Jan Tschichold: Master Typographer*. You did a good job with the recreation. In the reproduction I've got, there's a horizontal rule under the title,

and the fourth page ends a little earlier. "The Printing of Plays" starts at the end of Page 3 in the reproduction I've got in hand. Little nitpicks, thank you for your faithful recreation.

The only digital copy of the book I've got the reproduction in seems to be stuck in the purgatory of Google Books. The reproduction is on page 274. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Jan_Tschichold_Master_Typographer/7aUOAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Wide%20spaces%20should%20be%20strictly%20avoided
It seems like you're having some trouble. If you're in the US, call 988. https://www.fcc.gov/988-suicide-and-crisis-lifeline

Great choice of typeface. You've got a good sense of style. And at your recommendation, I'll be watching (at least the first half of) Twelve Angry Men this evening.

Thank you for the compliments! I try to keep the spirit of Geocities going, but with the sensibilities and capabilities of today. (That is — lots of colour, but a wee bit less sparkles and Comic Sans.) And nobody ever got fired for picking Garamond. ;)

I use a Nikon D3000. I received it for free, though it needed a simple repair to function. It's entry level, worth roughly $150. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Nikon+D3000&_sacat=0
