The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper

I thoroughly enjoyed this wide-ranging history of one of my favorite office supplies and all-around life tools: the notebook. Allen gives us glimpses into the notebooks of everyone from Isaac Newton and Agatha Christie to everyday workers and thinkers who used this seemingly innocuous tool to develop sometimes world-changing ideas. He explores how the notebook became a powerful tool for creativity, and gets practical with ways you can use it to change the way you think.
