Happy Birthday, Typewriters!

It's the birthday of the patent of the typewriter.


I might have to pick up some ribbons today, one for each machine. I don't want any one getting jealous of the others.

Meanwhile:

Amy Guth's next big thing is happening. Click, Chicago. The rest of you too, if you want. I gave Ms.Guth a typewriter once. In fact, I might have given you a typewriter once.

And here's a paste from Wave Books. I'd considering hitting this up if the job wasn't sending me to the Midwest on the dates:
