I honestly devoured and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I’ve recently been going back to leaning on my notebooks a lot more for a lot of my tasks including planning and todos (both at work and personal). So the book just came at the right time. I gives a wonderful overview over how paper (and notebooks) were used throughout the centuries by different people of various professions. It was really interesting to compare how much of these ways of journaling and taking notes is still in use today and how the question of organization of notes kinda still has so many approaches. If you like writing on paper, I can absolutely recommend this book.
