About this book

Petroskis witty and unexpected history of the pencil includes a wide range of characters: from the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau and Toulouse-Lautrec who declared I am a pencil to the great nineteenth-century manufacturing families such as Dixon and Faber. Petroski charmingly celebrates the design history of one of mankinds most essential and yet undervalued tools.
