Thank you, Jim! It's nice to hear from you. This is the only typewriter I've ever seen with this exotic character. I happily remember trying it out when I was in London. I'm reminded of the old academic joke about a theologian who published a blistering critique of Kierkegaard's
Either/Or, titled
Both/And. When he was accused of being unfair to Kierkegaard, he reconsidered and followed up with a book called
Both/And And/Or Either/Or.
PS: Jim has used
my Lucien font to write the name and address of Aloes Books.
PPS: I'm about to go out of town for a month, so postal mail won't get any speedy replies. I plan to report on a
type-in in Berkeley, California this coming Friday and the typewriter scene in Portland, Oregon.
PPPS, personal to theshytypospherian: Thank you for your kind and encouraging note.
