Baskerville

Hey guys, I'm looking for a list of some of the famous uses of the Baskerville typeface.. does anyone know where I could find some? does anyone know of any common ones off the top of their head?

Just off the top of my head, it's the corporate typeface of British newsagent and stationery chain WH Smith.

It's also used for the Canadian government wordmark, I believe. Certainly looks like it.

It looks very similar but it seems to have been modified a bit.

As an aside, Baskerville's lower case 'g' is one of my favourite letterforms going. Beautiful stuff.
