This reprint (with corrections) of the 1990 first edition traces the development of writing and writing materials from the ancient cuneiform tablet to today's ballpointscribbled memo. It explains the materials and history of everyday practice in writing and typing, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. Illustrated with numerous b&w photographs of historic items as well as valentines, genealogical records, secret messages, etc., each chapter addresses a specific subject such as writing instruments, inks, papers, writing, and the examination of historical documents. Nickell is a professional document investigator who has exposed numerous literary forgeries due to the perpetrator's careless use of wrong paper, ink, writing styles and writing instruments.
