Welcome to typewriters paradise
It is about typewriters, of course,
but also about the world of its manufacture
its financial backgrounds, its distribution and the sales pitches,
the engineers & repairmen,
the world of its users,
its glory,
and its failures.
It is about books and magazines too, advertising and business;
about collecting of course, and care and technical construction.
About things,
about people.
So what do we have to offer ?
Here are some samples to give you an impression.
