Typewriters: Iconic Machines from the Golden Age of Mechanical Writing (Writers Books, Gifts for Writers, Old-School Typewriters) Review: An Education in Unusual Vintage and Antique Typewriters by a Modern Day Expert! - This book introduced me to a world of typewriters unknown to me. As someone working in the business office of a major eastern university in the 70’s, my typewriter was an extension of my fingers. It took time and age for me to learn to appreciate the machines and their history. To find such glorious examples of 80 antique and vintage typewriters in one book, along with an education on the histories of these machines, was a thrill for me. The photos are beautifully done and allow one to appreciate the vast differences in machines from different time frames. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for these old machines. Time spent with Tony’s book is time well spent. I can’t say enough about the education awaiting anyone who really wants to know more about these, essential in their day, machines. Tony has refurbished 3 typewriters for me and I have been just delighted to put these machines in his incredibly capable hands. Review: Great Book! - This book is very interesting, while teaching the history of the typewriter. It highlights many great machines from the 20th century—some iconic, others you might not know about. A great book for any typewriter enthusiast! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,231,042 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #124 in Engineering Patents & Inventions #3,656 in Antiques & Collectibles (Books) #59,511 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (141) | | Dimensions | 9.38 x 1 x 11.5 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1452154880 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1452154886 | | Item Weight | 2.98 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | October 17, 2017 | | Publisher | Chronicle Books | ## Images ![Typewriters: Iconic Machines from the Golden Age of Mechanical Writing (Writers Books, Gifts for Writers, Old-School Typewriters) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91C1D0jnQ2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Education in Unusual Vintage and Antique Typewriters by a Modern Day Expert! *by L***M on November 25, 2019* This book introduced me to a world of typewriters unknown to me.
