Get your copy today!

From the creation of the QWERTY keyboard to the world's first portable typing machine, this handsome collection is a visual homage to the golden age of the typewriter. From the world's first commercially successful typewriter—the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer of 1874—to the iconic electric models of the 1960s, eighty vintage devices are profiled in elegant photographs and fascinating text that highlights the design modifications, intricate details, and peculiar quirks that make each typewriter unique. From functional advances like noiseless machines to luxurious details such as mahogany covers and inlaid mother-of-pearl, a century of design innovation and experimentation is charted in these pages. Packed with visuals and rich with history, Typewriters is the essential story of a writing invention that changed the world.

•Español: Creciste extraviado, solo y confundido, caminando por las bellas calles de París. ¡Al creer que Dios te arrebató tu nido, tus ilusiones, y aquel amor que no volvió! No quedó nada… sólo ceniza, polvo de recuerdos llenos de trágico dolor. Sentado en una butaca, triste lloras… recordando como fuesen los arcaicos y lejanos territorios de Germania, Grecia y Francia. • A LOST SOLDIER - RECUERDOS DE UN SOLDADO Pieces of my first Poetry Book (Bilingual Eng & Spa) © MY POETRY: The Remains of a Human • available online at @amazon Hardcover, Peperback & e-book • Thank you so much for reading! • Much Love ♥️ ���😍♥️ • for more poetry by #adricceneri follow @adricceneri • • #poetryisnotdead #writinghistory #poemas #alostsoldier #writersblock #poetas #poetrygram #accionpoetica #gaywriter #poeticjustice #gaypoet #followme #poetryofig  #poemoftheday #wordplay #poetry_addicts #typewriterpoetry #poetasdeinstagram #poetsoninstragram #poetrygram #followhim #librosrecomendados #poesiavisual #micropoesía #wordsarepowerful #thewords #poesiaenespañol (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BorMbO-nzdE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xsqok2412r4

This is so cool!

Though I might add that fountain pens are still in use in some countries in Europe and definitely worth considering if you often have to write a lot on physical paper (like in tests and such) since not having to press down on the pen makes it less tiring.

Most have little cartridges now that you can pop in to fill it, eliminates the whole “oops, I placed my hand on the open ink jar rim” problem.

Society has taught us to put on an appearance that makes people see that we are great and to deny the inner battles. When you’re good on the inside, it will translate to the outside. I’ve been on this journey of caring more about my inner man than my outer man. So, I’ve been ignoring my attire in order to allow a person to get to know the true me! #GrowingAndLearning #NOTDressingThePart #HealingMyInnerPeace #SchawaynaRaieTransparency #GodsDope #FaithfulJourney #LoveInTheMinorKey #WritingHistory #FulfillingTheLegacy (at The Land of Happiness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGI3Vrpnk-t/?igshid=qjj6rpejupah

“History is a succession of things that ought never to have happened, and the writing act is a kind of revenge against this.” ― from Breyten Breytenbach’s, “Intimate Stranger”. 📚 Breytenbach, a South African writer and painter imprisoned for his opposition to apartheid by the South African government, was born September 16, 1939. He is informally considered as the national poet laureate by Afrikaans-speaking South Africans. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesbreytenbreytenbach . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #books #bookish #bookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #authorquotes #quotes #booksofinstagram #Bookporn #literaryhistory #onthisday #dailyquotes #september16 #breytenbreytenbach #southafrican #southafricanwriter #writer #history #writinghistory #rightinghistory #revenge #apartheid #historygram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fvmayBNdX/?igshid=7kjmwwlkodvh
