I just wanted to say thank you for these and also for your incisive blog on the Charlie Foxtrot website, which has really helped me in the purchase of two typewriters, one of them the wonderful Silver-Reed; it can be difficult when you can't try in person.

I have been enjoying your blog as I have now done a little bit of research into different brands and my google searches always come back to your site. <br /><br />I learnt to type on an old olivetti when I was younger before word processers or computers were around and have been looking for quite a while for a typewriter, and I think this one fits the bill.<br /><br />I hope to be typing letters to friends soon, in fact I plan to send out a monthly typed letter to subscribers instead of blogging, which I am so excited about <br /><br />thank you again,<br />Louisa Louisahttp://tinyletter.com/luluinthewoodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-36303822667518654492013-06-13T23:09:10.691+10:002013-06-13T23:09:10.691+10:00My Blue Bird was acquired for £3.50 from a charity...My Blue Bird was acquired for £3.50 from a charity shop six years ago and is a joy to use.

That is getting to be a long list that it appears will take some time before much of a dent is made in it. You're quite the inspiration Robert to knew typewriter enthusiasts like myself.Raynoreply@blogger.com
