Correction

The tuition-room-and-board cost for the full three-week Oxbow Book & Paper Intensive has gone up from $900 to $950. For one-week and two-week periods it remains at $400 and $700 respectively. (Description of the Intensive was on p. 100 of the December issue.) for a full description, and a list of 1984 participants and 1985 instructors, contact the Ox Bow office at P.O. Box 5809, Chicago, IL 60680 (312/871-2348).

The New Typestyle

The old typewriter, a Coronamatic 1200 with #77 typeface, has worn out after eight years. After looking vainly for a better SCM typewriter with the sane typeface, I bought this one, Sears Electronic Communicator 2, and one month later found the one I was originally looking for. The future is up in the air.
