Still, I once commented to Richard P that I am constantly amazed by how many literary biographers fail to sate the curiosity of people like me, and name names when it comes to typewriters. I am reading a book about Agatha Christie's trip to Australia and NZ in the 1920s. It is full of typecasts of her typewritten letters. Yet not once it is even mentioned that she took a typewriter around the world with her.
