The public typewriter that I set up in my office building some time ago doesn’t get a lot of use, but once in a while it proves its value, as when I found a wonderful quote from James Baldwin on it the other day.

It's an Olympia SG 3!! :D
I love that typewriter! xD
James Baldwin… It reminds me of the name of a famous guy, but I can't remember it with accuracy… :(
A poem right out of The Enchanted Typewriter.
Ah yes, your favorite model!
Baldwin was a widely respected African-American writer. He used an Adler standard, Adler Gabriele 35, Olympia SM7, and Smith-Corona Coronamatic 2200. (Photos here.)
How happy is that typewriter after all those memos and minutes and business correspondence!
I'd like to hear from Albert alligator — over there in the margin —->>>>>
