Hi garry48-ga,
   As j_phillip-ga pointed out, ITC Officina Sans Book is a commercial
font library and as such is not available for free online. And
researchers cannot point you to an illegal source.
   However, there is still a chance that you might be able to get the
fonts for free. Many Adobe products come with a set of free fonts on
their installation CD's, and if you have access to Pagemaker's
installation media, you will find the fonts on it. Also, this site:
   - Tiny font archives 
     ( http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/freefonts3.html )
    mentions that Adobe Pagemaker 6.5 Trial version, which was
available for free download from Adobe's website, contained this fonts
family. Unfortunately, Adobe has updated its website with the
Pagemaker 7 trial, which does not contain them. However, if you look
check out old software/magazine CD's lying around your house, I am
sure you will be able to, as I was, find an old CD that contains the
Pagemaker 6.5 trial. Just install it to get the fonts. And its
completely legal!!
Also, if you had these fonts installed on your computer, they must
have been put there by some other software you installed. Try to
figure out what that might have been(think graphics editing/page
layout) and reinstall it.
Hope this helped.
Regards,
Theta-ga

Garry48,

You can buy this font as Windows or Mac version for US$25.99 from the
Adobe website:

Adobe Type Library - ITC Officina Sans Book
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_357.jhtml

I'm almost certain a free version would be violating copyright laws
and therefore (if available online) couldn't be posted as a link from
Google Answers. But I cannot give a definite answer on that and wish
you good luck in finding this for free.
