Notes from a Public Typewriter

Michael Gustafson, Oliver Uberti

Narrator Christine Lakin, Will Collyer, Ron Butler, Michael Gustafson, Roxana Ortega

Summary

A collection of confessional, hilarious, heartbreaking notes written anonymously on a public typewriter for fans of PostSecret and Other People's Love Letters. 
When Michael Gustafson and his wife Hilary opened Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they put out a typewriter for  anyone to use. They had no idea what to expect. Would people ask metaphysical questions? Write mean things? Pour their souls onto the page? Yes, no, and did they ever. 
Every  day, people of all ages sit down at the public typewriter. Children  perch atop grandparents' knees, both sets of hands hovering  above the metal keys: I LOVE YOU. Others walk in alone on Friday nights and confess their hopes: I will find someone someday. And some leave funny asides for the next person who sits down: I dislike people, misanthropes, irony, and ellipses ... and lists too. 
In Notes from a Public Typewriter Michael and designer Oliver Uberti have combined their favorite notes with essays to create an ode to community and the written word that will surprise, delight, and inspire.
