It's entirely possible that you recommended this at some point, but I am reading a fascinating book: The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper by Roland Allen. https://roland-allen.com/
It isn't exactly in line with the kinds of histories you seem to love the most, but I still think you would enjoy it.
I don’t thiink I’ve ever heard of it, so it probably wasn’t me, but I’m curious enough to pick it up. Do you think it works ok as an epub or should I definitely get the hardcopy?
There are some nice illustrations that I have found a little hard to appreciate in my Kindle copy, so I have had to go off in my Web browser and look up things like some of the examples of the art, where it is available. I'm thinking about going to the bookshop and buying the hardcopy, too.
It's certainly readable, but it has graphics that I think would be better in a printed book.
I also called my local bookstore this afternoon and asked them to order a copy (they said they had it in stock at one point). They're also ordering "We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something" by Amie McNee. It isn't history at all, but I am trying to start making creative marks on paper again, and this seems encouraging.
