3.0 out of 5 stars
Coffee table material turn collector's item,
By CW (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Typewriter Art (Hardcover)
If you are looking for examples of typewriter art dating back from the 1890s to the 1970s, this is the book. Sadly it is no longer in print and rather difficult to procure. I was able to borrow this book from a Californian University via the public library's LINK+ exchange program. Interestingly, a book which once cost 10 UK Pounds (GBP) now carries a $115 USD fee if lost!Sadly this book is rather light on content, what with only the first 6 pages as a fast and quick introduction to the world of typewriter art. I personally disagree with the abstract examples illustrating the art during the 1920s-1930s, as there was clearly better work being produced throughout (and before) that period. That aside, there are some wonderful pieces by the contemporaries of the time; Will Hollis and the renowned Dennis W. A. Collins. If you can manage to obtain a copy, this book is a great addition for anyone who is interested in the world of text-based art.

Don't waste your money...,
By "feersum_monkey" (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Typewriter Art (Hardcover)
...unless you WANT to see typewriter pictures of Groucho Marx and sailboats. I was hoping for something a little better. Also, some of the pictures have been reduced so much that it's hard to tell that some of the pictures are from typewriters.
