Description
Personal computers may have replaced the typewriter in most homes and offices, but the venerable writing machine is currently staging a comeback. From portable models that hipsters are snapping up in Urban Outfitters to Tom Hankss bestselling app that recreates the manual experience on a tablet, the typewriter has never been so hot.
This celebration of the typewriter covers what a platen knob is, why QUERTY won out over other arrangements of keys, which authors loved (or loathed) their typewriters, and much more.
A gift book with yellowed paper and typewriter fonts for a cool vintage look
Timeline of the typewriter features key models
