The Art of Typewriting by Ruth Sackner, Marvin Sackner, Steven Heller

blevins's review against another edition

4.0

I love strange little cultural sub-cultures or art movements that I've never heard of and evidently there have been people making art from the type of manual typewriters for decades. Some of it is abstract, some of it is playing with words, some of it is recreating familiar shapes with the type, all of it wonderfully captured in this large book.

I've got a couple of manual typewriters, including one I bought a few years ago from a dealer in Belgium simply because I liked the sans serif font! So, I might be dabbling in joining this sub-culture myself soon and make my own typewriter pieces.
