New Typewriter Book: Oliver History

Just arrived in the mail from the US today is this full history of the Oliver Typewriter Company, surely one of the most intriguing lines among all typewriter brands.
The history has been written by young Morgantown, West Virigina, typewriter collector and historian Jett Morgan, 15 (photo by Ron Rittenhouse published in The Dominion Post a couple of years back).
Over the past few years Jett has won the unstinting admiration of much older heads among US typewriter collectors - and his book is not just great reading, but a  fine tribute to his commitment to the cause.
The book can be ordered at

Jett's Morton Typewriter Collection can be seen at

Congratulations, Jett!
