I've never seen a single typewriter in flea markets I've been to here in Chicago.

As you are someone for whom a visit to lovely Annecy just isn't worth if if all you see is one lousy Continental desktop machine, here's an anthem a Swiss friend passed on to me: I'm in Love With My typewriter, by the Bo Katzman Gang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9U2AEAmSR4). As catchy as that Rooy and Japy Script, I'd say.rnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115499862681364911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-19464278096979634972011-05-29T23:30:54.780+02:002011-05-29T23:30:54.780+02:00Thank you for posting pics, and you shouldn't ...Thank you for posting pics, and you shouldn't skimp on the Hermes pics - show us some love! :D<br /><br />Your high resistance to this sort of temptation is admirable. Taking the pictures is an excellent substitute for owning them all. The spotting is the real thrill. (:Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.com
