This looks like a fun book, I look forward to reading it. That's great that you got a shout out in the book. I like his choice for 5 great portable manuals, especially the Blick 5.
I just got off the telephone with Jessica Bruder. We spoke a lot about the typewriters and your name came up. It sounds like she is going to be writing a pretty cool piece.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it! For those who are wondering what we're talking about, she is writing a piece for the NY Times Style section, and typecasting is going to be part of it.

Congrats on the Voss. You beat me to it by mere minutes. That's what I get for vacillating between two different ones.
Want.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
Sold! To me.
