Notes from a public typewriter

Notes from a public typewriter / Michael Gustafson and Oliver Uberti, 159 pgs.

A sweet book that collects some of the best things typed on a typewriter in an independent bookstore in Ann Arbor, MI.  Owners Michael and Hilary were warned off opening a bookstore but they did it anyway.  Since 2013 they have overseen Literati Bookstore and from the first day had a typewriter available for anyone to use.  Thinking this might turn into a crowd-sourced hit novel, instead, they have been amazed and touched by some of the little notes they find on the paper.  This book tells a little of their story and features some of the favorite words left behind by visitors to the store.
