I used to work at a large independent bookstore, and they kept all the fiction in the back room, out of the way.

Old ones like that are prettier, but take longer to type on. But later typewriters had excellent key action. I'm a terrible typist, but my mother easily typed 100 wpm on the IBM Selectric.
No matter what the calendar says, it's not fall in LA yet. Sadly. I miss my beautiful fall clothes.
