Reviews

A glorious celebration of my all-time favourite object from its earliest incarnations to its funkiest forms. In his always interesting history of thinking on paper, Roland Allen has confected a scintillating cornucopia of notebook miscellany -- Sara Wheeler, author * Glowing Still * When something significant happens in the development of human ideas, , the same simple object is employed, humble and unassuming, yet endlessly versatile and powerful: a notebook. It allowed the quick-witted, fast moving young Beatles-to-be to capture their spontaneous inventions, just as it allowed Einstein to grind through mathematical operations of horrific complexity on his way to elegant breakthroughs -- Roly Allen * The Notebook *
