Stationery Fever (a new book from Prestel)

[Jerome Tarshis]

Out for only a month or two. A highly designed book whose thesis, familiar to some of us, is that there is a growing hostility toward the dominance of computers, and so we have a trend toward using earlier technology, such as manual typewriters, good paper, and (gasp!) fountain pens.

The book is perhaps more shopping-oriented than I am, but our hobby can include a large component of shopping online and in person, so I can't say the book is impractical. And Prestel does a good job. As book publishers go nowadays.

Available of course on Amazon and elsewhere.

I am giving a link to the packager of the book, Vetro, in Berlin, because it includes a video and some sample pages, whereas some of the other online mentions are a bit less informative.

Have not yet seen the book, but will make an effort.

Thanks. I've put in on my Amazon wishlist. Admittedly, much of what's on that list has been there for years, but sometimes if you're patient, the prices come down.

Interesting title. I've been afflicted all my life.

Pens. And Notebooks

It has the decorative tapes in... but no cute writing paper. Both of those plus pens + inks, oh, and notebooks.... I have an addiction to.

They asked me to use some of my photographs and pen infos for the book. Here they are:

It's a little bit strange to see my own pens in a book....
