Some people here might be interested in a project listed on Kickstarter to
publish a 2-volume book about the history of typewriter and computer keyboards. It has about another week to run (until March 8), and has been
supported well past its goal. It's a beautiful set of books with lots of photos
and text. It is by Marcin Wichary and called Shift Happens. There's a short video that will give you a good overview of the project.

Me too! Thanks for posting this, Bob. I've been waiting for the launch
and I nearly missed it.
