Book cover concept

Here's a quick rendering of a concept for the book cover. Of course the cover would use real typing instead of this typewriter font!

For the moment I'm borrowing a bit of Georg's beautiful ribbon photography.

Here I got the subtitle right: "A Field Manual for the Typewritten Revolution," not "A Field Guide to the Typewritten Revolution," as I had it in my previous posts. A field guide is for naturalists with binoculars; a field manual is for combatants.

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions on the book concept. You can still leave more at any time, they will always get to me (or write me directly at polt@xavier.edu). I'll keep everyone posted.

Update: My book, now titled The Typewriter Revolution, is a reality! Visit typewriterrevolution.com for information and purchasing links. Sincere thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way. —Richard
