Typewriters
Typewriters are making a comeback. Makes sense: They're just the coolest. Great tools on which to compose poems, short stories, novels, screenplays, and letters and notes to family and friends. If you have an old machine gathering dust in an attic that's in need of a tuneup, or if don't own a typewriter and you're curious to learn more and possibly purchase one, the place to go in Albuquerque is John Lewis' Mechanical Antiques, located on Menaul.
