I, too, use a typewriter for spine labels, and can't see doing it any
other way.
When the annual discussion of how to print small batches of spine labels
using the computer comes up, I always suggest to the questioners that
typewriters work better than computers for this task. While new
technology does, indeed, have advantages sometimes, once in a while the
old technology is still the best for the job at hand.
