This book recommendation is on UNCOMMON TYPE by Tom Hanks. From the cover: “To many, typewriters represent a level of craftsmanship, beauty, and individuality that is harder and harder to find in the modern world. In these stories, Hanks gracefully reaches that typewriter-worthy level. By turns whimsical, witty, and moving, UNCOMMON TYPE establishes him as a welcome and wonderful new voice in contemporary fiction.”
