I have begun to set Strong Words on our Poetry MA -- I will try getting them to copy out quotations by hand! You're right that there needs to be a sequel/update, though.
I think you're right about the salubrious effects of typing quotes out instead of sharing scans, but the number of typos in your quotes (preserved in the RSS feed version of the post, though I see many have been fixed post-publication) are precisely why I prefer scans, especially since these days most platforms will automatically detect the text and insert it into the alt text with very few errors.
Yes a generous reader pointed them out, but I haven't got to all of them yet. To be fair to myself, I always meant to do another proof. Events intervened.
I would love to read #2 and ever more! I am one of those who write long hand, you see. I may shuffle for hours my various notebooks to find 'that particular' quote, but somehow I always find what I'm looking for despite the messiness of this system.

Hopefully they introduce less typos then I did...
