Does anyone recognise this font and know where I can get it?

Cheers.

Looks like the Clarendon Bold from Bitstream. But they have skewed it.

Ive been told its Bookman..... Presumably skewed it means they have added the border?

I don't think it's a Bookman font, because of the serifs, see the screenshot.
I'm not 100% happy with the Clarendon, but I didn't find another font that comes so near. The "r" and the "B" don't match very good.
Additionally, the Clarendon fonts from Linotype or URW++ don't match good, only the Bitstream version seems to match best.

Skew means, they made the text cursive with a transform tool. The original cursive font faces of Bookman and Clarendon look totally different. The thin, light (Photoshop-)border makes it more difficult to identfy the font exactly.

Cheers!!!!! But I was only told it was bookman, I thought it looked more like Berlin Bold which I found in my copy of Jaspert, Berry & Johnsons book on type faces. It matches what your saying but the inside of the d looks a little curved still, it's hard to see as it's so small.

Do you know a way of reproducing that outline in a none photoshop environment? I use Fireworks and Freehand.

Cheers again!!!!

Oh, I didn't got fireworks and I'm not at all a Freehand fan...
and I only got a german copy, version 10
But however, let's try. :)

First I converted the text to path (ctrl+shift+p)

Then I made a copy and set the filling to transparent and the contour to a contrast color.
Then I clicked the icon marked on the screenshot, it's on the Xtras icon bar, and the small dialog window showed up.
