News: Black Friday & Other Tidbits

Books:

Tom Hanks published a book of short stories called Uncommon Type which is getting some press for reasons beyond the fact that he is an Oscar-winning actor. Every story features a typewriter somewhere in the story. For me, this makes me curious how he manages to work his love of typewriters into his stories.

Pens:

The Pen Addict limited edition Retro51 Ice-o-metric edition ($38) is available. Its limited to 600 and they will go fast, if they aren’t gone already. The glow-in-the-dark bomb pop design was created by Michael Jacobs and released as an exclusive for Pen Addict fans.

  1. The Pen Addict Retros are pretty neat – I’ll have to grab one. The Tom Hanks Typewriter book sounds pretty cool too.

  2. I can recommend Hanks’ book. The stories vary in subject, so there should be something for everyone. Without giving anything away, I will add that fans of the author’s movies may find additional layers in his writing.
