They love typewriters―the magical, mechanical contraptions that are enjoying a surprising second life in the 21st century, striking a blow for self-reliance, privacy and coherence against dependency, surveillance and disintegration. The Typewriter Revolution documents the movement and provides practical advice on how to choose a typewriter, how to care for it and what to do with it―from National Novel Writing Month to letter-writing socials, from type-ins to typewritten blogs, from custom-painted typewriters to typewriter tattoos. It celebrates the unique quality of everything typewriter, fully-illustrated with vintage photographs, postcards, manuals and more. Review: Wonderful book for typosphere fans! - As a collector of vintage typewriters over the last four years (I have five), this is exactly the sort of ‘reference’ book I was looking for. Extremely well written and beautifully illustrated, the sort of book you can just dip into every day. The author is very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for those wonderful machines comes across throughout. The section on typewriter care is very useful. I am so glad there is a resurgence of interest in typewriters; smart phones and tablets are all well and good (yes I have them myself), but NOTHING beats using a typewriter! Review: Must by for any enthusiast! - For me using typewriter is NOT because of digital detox or anything of a fashion, because I don't own pc and not mobile phone. I use typewiters if I need types document and also letters(but I mainly write letters with my handwriting). Still, it is VERY informative book, encouraging book and I hope and know for sure others will love to read it. It is well written and with a lot of info. I have 8 typewriters(all manual) sand some in that book like my 50's Remington standard. Anyway -a must by for any enthusiast! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 396,135 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 53 in Antique & Collectable Restoration & Maintenance 11,790 in Social & Cultural History | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 392 Reviews | ## Images ![The Typewriter Revolution: A Typist's Companion for the 21st Century - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Tqm46l7GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book for typosphere fans! *by C***S on 31 October 2023* As a collector of vintage typewriters over the last four years (I have five), this is exactly the sort of ‘reference’ book I was looking for.
