Hunt and Peck II

Yesterday I went on the streetcar to the "Vintage Paper Show," held downtown in the foyer at the CBC, Canada's answer to the BBC. There were all kinds of posters, books and ephemera etc. I wasn't leading the charge as the trip was the idea of my Mrs, but I found the show surprisingly interesting. First up we met Martin Howard, a native of Durham in the UK, who was showing part of his collection of vintage typewriters. Check out his website here.
