I've read a couple of books recently that are a perfect companion for each other. Both are "spiraling out" books - meaning you start reading a book and it sends you on a hunt for more books, authors, ideas etc. - my favorite kind of book but also the most complex kinds of books because it is really hard to finish them :) These two are
The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper by Roland Allen and
Remarkable Diaries: The World's Greatest Diaries, Journals, Notebooks, & Letters (DK History Changers) The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper by Roland Allen and
Thanks for posting about the book! So glad you liked it and you're right, those two make good companions to each other. May I share your wonderful annotated drawing of them...?
