Yes, You Can Still Buy One


The Classic Manual Typewriter - Hammacher Schlemmer: "This is the classic manual typewriter, the indispensable tool used by celebrated 20th Century authors Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, and Jack Kerouac. Though supplanted by computers, the mechanical typewriter still has its devotees (authors Larry McMurtry and David McCullough among them), many who claim the click-clacking of its keys inspires creative thinking. This typewriter also proves invaluable for addressing envelopes, creating labels, or filling out forms--simple tasks that can be confounding with a computer printer. Not a reconditioned model, it comes from the ever-dwindling reserve of new manuals
still being manufactured."
