I started my collection in high school, fascinated by the history and mechanical complexity of these machines. Like so many others, I crave a distraction-free life and appreciate the ease with which typewriters facilitate the creative process. I wish there were a less-pretentious way to say all of that, but if you’re visiting this site, I’m sure you understand!

All glory be to Christ.
