Notes from a Public Typewriter by Oliver Uberti, Michael Gustafson

5.0

I really, really loved this. Its charm is probably in its sheer lack of pretension; the book is exactly what it says it is — snippets run through a public typewriter (plus some anecdotes about typewriters, the bookshelf where the titular typewriter resides, and a few observations about life and love and lettering).

Truly, this is one of those collections that is more than the sum of its parts.
