Description:
Pretty, compact, and light, so it is too bad that it is so fussy to get in and out of its fragile, Olivetti-stylish, vinyl-covered, fiberboard case. Sold to me by a high-school girl at a yard sale. I hope she doesnt come to regret selling it.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
