Typewriters continued to be on sale to the general public well into the microcomputer age though by the time Littlewoods published their 1988 spring summer catalogue maybe sales were beginning to thin out. Only two typewriters are on sale in the catalogue. One mechanical and one electric.
The mechanical or manual typewriter is this rather pleasing Olivetti Roma. Two colour ribbon, variable line spacing, automatic ribbon reverse... even includes a carrying case. What more could you want?
Well maybe you prefer an electric? The catalogue's offering is this rather bland looking Erika. Personally i'd go for the Olivetti although this machine is a solid offering giving "smooth, clean, crisp professional typing"!
