Paper and pencil give a personal touch in this digital age. This book tells the backstory of the pencil, an overlooked cultural icon with anecdotes, unexpected facts, and hand-drawn pencil and paper illustrations. Featuring profiles of pencil crafters, anecdotes about famous writers and their favourite pencils, and essays about the surprising role of pencils in world history and culture.
The pencil is our direct connection between mind and page. This object brings us back to the simpler time.
