And now five years of Royal Standard – 50,000+ words – are on Internet Archive for anyone to read: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Royal+Typewriter+Company%2C+Inc.%22 … (Sure, this is not the best quality possible, but much better than nothing – particularly since I also OCR’ed all the text, making it searchable.)

I love feeling like a good historian/preservationist! And there are so many tiny things there that mean a lot, for example this “Royal progress in Poland”: https://archive.org/details/the-royal-standard-1924-9/page/n3 …

(I know I haven’t sent many book updates recently, but I’ve been working hard on the typesetting and particularly visuals. Over 200 photos are already in the book, and I’m proud of many of them that I found, and some that I took. My goal is to send a newsletter within days!)

Four years ago, I wrote a Medium post about the Turkish typewriter. I wonder if without that post – and the positive reception to it – I would’ve ever embarked on my book project. I’m taking photos of that typewriter for the book today, and it feels like meeting a patron saint.pic.twitter.com/TsNRoBRYX1
