Hey, I'm looking for a font as close to bookman old style as possible http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/agf…
Any ideas Typo, anyone?

Imperial and Gazette are somewhat similar

i sometime mixup Bookman with Clarendon, similar serifs, but the R and a few characters are def different.

actually nm.. it's way different.

Nice suggestions from NS. I too wonder why you want something as close as possible. But I don't blame you for wanting something different. A OS bundled default serif with roots in the 70s is rarely a good idea.
See also Farnham for something with a little more sparkle and flavor:

those still to me don't have the warmth and sweetness of bookman.

Why can't you just use Bookman?

I don't know why, I just can't :(
Great suggestions everyone, thanks.

Cheltenham looks nice too, thanks Chimp.
Mr Trivia, you know the Bawjaws font is only for special spit-roast invites.
