I'm a technical writer who has recently become enamored with manual typewriters and the general resurrection of pre-digital forms of communication online-- drawings, old film, typewritten or handwritten personal documents, tangible things that seem to be disappearing from everyday life.
I've poked around online and found a handful of encyclopedic pre-WWII typewriter collection links and a few nerdy grad students papercasting to make a semiotic statement, but generally speaking, not a lot of content for the average person who's just interested in seeing some of this old stuff make a comeback on the web.
Well, that's me. I am hoping that you'll consider joining the conversation as I dig up and discuss books and links about this topic, scan slides, typecasts, and notebook drawings, and hunt around for information about manual typewriters to share.
we have a remedy you'll appreciate

I too have the typewriter bug. Sixty in my collection, but I'm paring back. I'm trying to limit my typewriters to those associated with famous authors. I often write about typewriters on my blog, The Red Electric (theredelectric.blogspot.com) and have set up, but not developed, another blog to be devoted exclusively to typewriters at backspacetypewriters.blogspot.com
I will make a link on backspace for strikethru and will read more of your site when I have time.
Good luck.
