This is The Notebook, A History of Thinking on Paper by Roland Allen.
I loved this book. Like I loved this book and it's awesome. And I wanted to reach out.
And I think what I loved about this book is like, you don't think of The Notebook as something that was invented, but of course it was. Obviously, different scraps of paper writing little things here or there has existed for a long time, but The Notebook as we know it, like the Moschino or whatever, this is an invention.
And he has amazing stuff in this book about da Vinci. I absolutely loved it.
The first thing I said when I finished, I went to the manager of the Painting Portion, I said, we've got to carry this book in the bookstore.
