"I recently paid a visit to Janine at her studio and snapped a few photos of the book in progress. These samples (or wet proofs) of the actual book pages show us what we can expect to find in the completed volume. Weighing in at 336 pages this book is a comprehensive look at the graphic history of the typewriter." – Barb Marshall

"Vangool has amassed quite the collection — not only of typewriters but of all sorts of typewriter-related ephemera. Although she seems to have an eye for any well-designed token of the typewriter age, Janine does confess to having a favorite. “Royals are my particular favorite,” she says, referring to the Royal brand of typewriters produced from 1906 through the 1970s. “I have the Quiet Deluxe in turquoise, pink, red, grey, and teal.” Throughout its long history, the Royal typewriter company not only pioneered several important technologies for typewriting, but also produced a wide range of stunning, multi-colored products and promotional material — pure eye candy for any typewriter fan." –Maxwell Tielman, Design*Sponge
