On Lambs and Lions

20120301 typecast

Well of course I'm going to link to the book. E-book editions are currently:
Smashwords will also distribute to Apple, Kobo and Sony, but I'm in the hurry-up-and-wait stage for that. Ditto for the printed proof copy of the book, which will make its way to me in about a week and a half. I'll do a massive recap post when I can breathe again.

Typed -- courageously -- on the Brother/Montgomery Wards Signature 513:
Montgomery Ward Signature 513 (Brother), c.1966

Wide Load

Speaking of depreciation, the price I paid for this (in 2010 dollars) equates to $0.93 in 1967 dollars, roughly the price of a pound of ground coffee in the supermarket. This machine stayed local, as you can see from the owner's notes. Interestingly, our dining room table and living room furniture in our current home came from the same store, about 30 years later, just a handful of years before "Monkey Ward" disappeared entirely.
