Silent Type 2: In the mail

If you contributed to Silent Type 2, your copy is on its way to you in the mail (provided I have your current address). Here are a few photos taken by co-editor Brandon of the ST2 production line (for which he deserves all the credit. Without his help, there would have been no ST2).

Hope you enjoy your copy. I will soon have information about how to get extra copies for those who want one.

Notes:

• In the copies I have already sent out, a poem appears that should not have been included due to a miscommunication. It will be removed from subsequent printings. It is "During the War" by Ed Skoog. Apologies to Mr. Skoog for the error.
  
• Since no printing is complete without a typographical error, please go to the credits page of your zine and draw a copyright symbol © just before "2010" in the line "All contents 2010" ... so, it should read "All contents © 2010..." I will write those in to any future copies I send out but the ones I just shipped off don't have it.

On making a zine: thoughts and logistics

For those of you utterly uninterested in Silent Type and/or print zines, this is hopefully one of the last posts about this project, after which time we will turn to our regularly scheduled programming of topics such as "is it worth it to pay through the nose to have a typewriter refurbished?" Short answer: if you can afford it, absolutely.

Oh, and check out Retro Tech Geneva's post on the art and obligations of typewriter collecting. I think many of you will relate to the points raised. I sure do.

PS:
Best wishes to those of y'all readying for the annual writing marathon known as National Novel Writing Month.

Silent Type 2: They said it would never be finished. They were wrong.

Eternal thanks to Brandon, who did the layout for ST's 1 and 2 in Adobe InDesign, a program I do not understand in the least.
