ICYMI, I have a super-occasional newsletter that covers everything I’ve been up to that, social media being what it is, there’s a good chance you missed.

I should have another instalment out later this week. Subscribe now and you won’t miss that either. https://www.jonathancrowe.net/newsletter/

This 1965 Facit TP2 needed a little work when it arrived last year. Jennifer fixed the the bell, margin stops and ribbon reverse; it also got new 3D-printed feet. It’s now about as good as we can get it. It’s also very blue. #typewriter https://instagr.am/p/Cguoql9OVqW/

Walter continues to work on his repertoire of adorable sleeping cat poses. https://instagr.am/p/Cgr2SVouGaN/

We’re making lasagna and the orange cat is awfully interested and that’s just too on the nose. https://instagr.am/p/CgcwPTCvJFv/

I bet you’ve been wondering what I thought about Peng Shepherd’s novel THE CARTOGRAPHERS. It’s a literary fantasy about maps! Is it even possible for a book to be more relevant to my interests? Wonder no longer: my review for @strangehorizons is now live. http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/the-cartographers-by-peng-shepherd/

The Cartographers https://www.jonathancrowe.net/2022/07/the-cartographers/

Under the hood, this 1974 Smith-Corona Galaxie Twelve isn’t much different from a Smith-Corona from the 1950s, or even the 1930s. Maybe a little less robustly built thanks to cost-cutting, but still very good. #typewriter https://instagr.am/p/CgNZbZtuR38/

Dignity. Always dignity. https://instagr.am/p/CgKi56puCkH/

Walter sleeps occasionally. (He’s more than a bit rambunctious, especially at 4 am.) https://instagr.am/p/CgHsXmLupyZ/

I continue to send out letters. https://instagr.am/p/CgCTVyBuKW4/

They play together a lot more than they snuggle together, but it’s easier to get a shot of them when they’re not scampering. https://instagr.am/p/Cf7PVxWuU9w/

A 1958 Smith-Corona Silent-Super in Alpine Blue. A looker, to be sure. Whatever the colour, it’s hard to beat a fifties-era Smith-Corona in good condition. #typewriter https://instagr.am/p/Cf4cM0FOzgD/
