It took me back to better times, the 1950' s when I had a typing class, & loved it. I am a writer now, and want to right my first book, but I don't want to use a computer or handwrite it out. I love the sound of a typewriter, it inspires me to write, loading the paper, watching the keys hit the paper, everything about a typewriter makes me feel like writing. I enjoyed watching this Documentary, it made me want a typewriter so bad, after watching this I feel obsessed to get one asap!.
