Review of 'Adventures in stationery' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A wonderfully whimsical look at the world of stationery that’s well worth a read whether or not you’re a stationery aficionado.

Each chapter focuses on one particular sphere of stationery: pens, paper, pencils and everything in between. What makes it so fun to read is the author’s passion and humorous way of describing the histories and coincidences that led to the discovery of so many of the things we use in the office and around our homes 365 days a year.

It’ll be a book that will hardly leave your hand until you turn the last page and it’s certainly worth every penny.
