Ray Bradbury's Typewriter

Ray Bradbury wrote all of his books and stories on a typewriter, he never used a computer. He famously spent $9.80 to type up Fahrenheit 451 on a rental typewriter in the basement of UCLA's Powell Library.  You can see a picture of Ray's 1947 Royal KMM and read a bit more about him at:

I've loved Ray's writing since I first discovered him as a teenager. While his science fiction is what he's most famous for, he also wrote a several fun spooky weird mysteries that I especially enjoyed, DEATH IS A LONELY BUSINESS and A GRAVEYARD FOR LUNATICS.
