As Rob stated...not able to spot typos.<br /><br />Retyping a novel (as I wrote that I thought I should write is a novel idea) sure would be a great way to practice typing, and it would not be as boring as the drills in a typing book.

Type one page worth in ink, the next in correction, then back to ink, switching for each page and building up a textured layer of ink and correction overstrikes, all piled on top of each other.<br /><br />It should be noted that many authors learned how to tell stories by first re-typing favorite novels, to get into practice. I presume they use more than one sheet of paper, but the learning effect would likely be similar regardless if the final result was readable or not.

Nice man. Told me about his experience retyping "The Sun Also Rises" on a Corona 3.

His cardboard sculptures of the typewriters( on his website) are great too.
