Fantastic Coffee Table Book for Typewriter Lovers

The book is larger than I imagined and with excellent photography. It contains encyclopedic descriptions with many details about each typewriter. This book puts an entire collection of rare typewriters in my home and on my coffee table for visitors to see. Thank you!
