I don't normally have a stationery fetish. I don't like looking at pens, staplers, paper clips or stickers for any amount of time in a normal shop. Well, then they opened Typo. An awesome joint, they not only sell good quality, good priced stationery, but also cheap as chips notebooks which read 'Happier than a bird with a french fry' and other such larks.
They sell mugs (Try Snoopy showing his muscles with the inscription 'Check out dem puppies'), paintings (mostly lovely french styles), vintage items (a classy looking cord phone with a dial - yes, a dial! So quaint!), cardboard speakers, ornaments (owls are the latest fetish) and other such lovely things you couldn't hope to find in another store.
The Sylvia Park Typo is the best one to visit if you live out east, and is a great place to buy presents. The store members are kind, helpful and offer you a little basket if you have your hands full. read more
