I even found my own typewriter there! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Practical Manual and a Love Letter *by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023* I purchased this book almost exactly 8 years ago (on November 3, 2015, if my Amazon history is accurate), right after I had purchased my first typewriter on eBay - my first learning experience that I didn't know the first thing about actual typewriter mechanics, maintenance, or troubleshooting if anything went amiss.This book contains all of the useful information and troubleshooting tips I have needed and has been a valuable resource in the years since, as well as it being my first introduction to the existence to what has become my all- time favourite typewriter, the wonderful Olympia SM9 (of which I now own 3 in different fonts, haha).I, and my kids, have regularly used both the typewriters and this manual since, including most recently by my 16 year-old for an assignment for school. The teacher had stipulated that the assignments be handwritten: a 'protection' against students using AI to do the writing, but agreed to the use of 'an actual typewriter' as well. The Typewriter Revolution has been a trusted partner every step of the way, helping me become confident with cleaning, light maintenance, as well as being a reminder of the value of disconnecting and appreciating the slow, the tactile, and the real. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An elegant tool, from a more civilized age. (With apologies to Obi Wan for adapting his words.) *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2023* A little of the history of the typewriter, but much more on the philosophy of the people who return to typewriters, and their many reasons for doing so. By turns serious and funny, some passages written with (I surmise) his tongue firmly in his cheek, but a great read all round. And if you already prefer your typewriter to a computer keyboard, you will find that you are not alone. Amply illustrated with pictures of typewriters and their users and their writings. A "how to" on fixing glitches, more information on the typosphere and where it is going, and manifesto of the return to "machines of loving grace", a line taken from a poem by Richard Brautigan and echoed by others as it applies to typewriters.Even if you don't have a typewriter you should read this book for the enthusiasm and enjoyment of his subject that the author so well presents. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19346508-the-typewriter-revolution-a-typists-companion-for-the-21st-century](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19346508-the-typewriter-revolution-a-typists-companion-for-the-21st-century) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
