Typewriter guestbook, how to?

How do you go about having a typerwriter guestbook? I like the idea but I dont know exactly how it works

My understanding is that you get an old typewriter, and whatever paper you want to use. As guests "sign" the guestbook they would put a piece of paper in the typewriter, type you a note and then put it in a book/binder.

I'll be honest: I don't think this sounds like a good idea. Have you typed on a typewriter? It takes forever just to get the paper aligned the way you want it, and then to actually type without making mistakes is awful. I can see this being the source of a lot of confusion and frustration for guests, so I would maybe make a guestbook that is typewriter-themed, but where they don't have to actually use a typewriter to sign in.

The only way I can imagine this working is if you somehow had a giant roll of paper going through rather than individual sheets and people just continued typing on the same sheet.

But I bet a lot of people skip the guest book because they just don't want to bother with typing.
