I picked up a turquoise Royal Quiet Deluxe while down here. I cannot wait to fill you in on the story on that one the next time I see you. <br /><br />Btw, my associate should be in on Staurday for the Royal. <br /><br />Stay well, Tom. Great blog as always!

I never realized how big poetry is until I got into the typewriter business. The Boston area is huge nesting ground for poets. I gets so many poets in the shop<br />getting their machines repaired or new ones buying a vintage manual to inspire their poetry.<br /><br />Anonymous- Pardon my French. You are absolutely right.

And if I'm not mistaken, in France they use the AZERTY layout, so that machine was possibly made for Canada.
