Title: Writers and their Typewriters

It's perhaps obvious it's not all writers, but not all photos include the Writer either (eg Julie Andrews, Beryl Bainbridge, Stephen Vincent Benet, Fidel Castro, Pablo Neruda). Pretty sure mine was an Olympia

Good point. What model was the Olympia, if you don't mind me asking?

I was curious about that too, I think probably a Splendid 33 - inquiries have been made (will update). Why do you ask, is this a judge worthy topic? You don't meet many people who've used a.. true mechanical keyboard these days :D

No specific reason. I've always found typewriters interesting and I enjoy it whenever I find someone who has, or still, uses them. They're a lot more enjoyable to write on than computers, to me at-least.
