The font that's already installed on your computer called "Garamond" is not the only Garamond, and frankly not the best looking IMO.
The original Garamond is of course from centuries ago. Now there are now multiple digital versions of Garamond from different font foundries.
If you get the chance, I recommend instead "ITC Garamond Std" or "Adobe Garamond Pro" (both from Adobe Font Folio), especially the former. I especially enjoy the little curve on the serif at the top left of letters such as "r" or "n" which I found to be especially charming, but sadly missing from many Garamond implementations.
Adobe’s version is closer to the original version, and by my contemporary aesthetics, better. ITC Garamond gives me “advertisement for a Mac II with Color LaserWriter”. Very 1987.
And if you want something in somewhat similar style that looks good on screen, I prefer Slimbach’s Minion typeface to either (Slimbach also designed Adobe’s Garamond).
