Very nerdy, wonderful history of an 'obscure' part of reading that we too often take for granted.
Derived From Web , Mar 21, 2022
He points out many 'obvious' but often unremarked things about how we read. Enjoyed the fact that I would not have known so many things.

Disappointing (Audible version)
Derived From Web , Mar 12, 2022
Some interesting bits and anecdotes from the interview. Repetition, to a fault, and padded. It was mostly mechanical problems, but I eventually gave up.

Very informative as well as entertaining
Derived From Web , Mar 10, 2022
Read this on my kindle which did not do justice to the illustrations _ they are definitely more clear on shiny surface of iPad and probably in the printed book. If you have any problems with learning how to use your brain, skip this book. Most writers these days are insipid so it was a pleasure to read, he said.
