The literacy rate in Farmer Brown's barn goes up considerably once his cows find an old typewriter and begin typing. To the harassed farmer's dismay, his communicative cows quickly become contentious:
Dear Farmer Brown,
The barn is very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets.
Sincerely,
The Cows
When he refuses to comply with their demands, the cows take action. Farmer Brown finds another note on the barn door: "Sorry. We're closed. No milk today." Soon the striking cows and Farmer Brown are forced to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, with the help of an impartial party--the duck. But this poor, beleaguered farmer's "atypical" troubles are not over yet!
This hilarious tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power of peaceful protest and the satisfaction of cooperative give and take. Witty watercolors by award-winning illustrator Betsy Lewin (Snake Alley Band, Araminta's Paint Box) will make this a favorite for one and all, even if words such as "ultimatum" and "neutral" throw the younger set. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Laugh-Out-Loud Funny.......2007-10-11
This book was so cute and funny it made me laugh out loud. I gave it to my grandson for his 1/2 birthday (he is 4 1/2) and he loves it too and says his mommy reads it to him every night and like grandma, he laughs out loud.
A Darling Book!.......2007-09-29
I love this book! It is so creative and fun to read and it has a sweet message. Children will love it. It is also available in Spanish. Another one of her books, "Dooby Dooby Moo," is also an absolutely wonderful book!
Great read for kids and adults!.......2007-09-26
This book is fun for kids with real-life humor. The cows and farmer are feuding over electric blankets. So, of course, "Being a neutral part, duck delivered the message."
It doesn't get any better than that!!!!
Cows on Strike!.......2007-09-04
This is one of those childrens books that I probably enjoy a lot more than my children -- and they enjoy it quite a bit. The cows are going on strike, typing letters to Farmer Brown to negotiate better "living conditions". By the time Farmer Brown relents through his intermediary, Duck, he's got another problem on his hand. Guess who? The Duck. Utterly enjoyable, this book makes me and my kids laugh every time I read it to them.
Kids LOVE this book!.......2007-08-18
This book has been read so many times at our house! Okay, honestly, the first time I read it, I thought it was just okay. -But, since I'm a grown up, I can be a little rusty on the kid wisdom of what's great and what's not. This book was an instant hit with our daughter and for a while she would request it every night! So then I was thrilled that she loved a book that much and since I was reading it so often, I came to love it too.
The story is about some sly cows that type out their demands and hold their goods till they get what they want. The hens are in cahoots as well. Farmer Brown types out his reply of noncompliance. Finally, a deal is struck and everyone is happy. -Until the ducks get a hold of typewriter and make out their own requests.
Recommended ages for this says 4-8, but I'm thinking this is more along the 2-6 range.
Book Description
The Iron Whim is an intelligent, irreverent, and humorous history of writing culture and technology. It covers the early history and evolution of the typewriter as well as the various attempts over the years to change the keyboard configuration, but it is primarily about the role played by this marvel in the writer's life. Darren Wershler-Henry populates his book with figures as disparate as Bram Stoker, Mark Twain, Franz Kafka, Norman Mailer, Alger Hiss, William Burroughs, J. G. Ballard, Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, Northrop Frye, David Cronenberg, and David Letterman; the soundtrack ranges from the industrial clatter of a newsroom full of Underwoods to the more muted tapping and hum of the Selectric. Wershler-Henry casts a bemused eye on the odd history of early writing machines, important and unusual typewritten texts, the creation of On the Road, and the exploits of a typewriting cockroach named Archy, numerous monkeys, poets, and even a couple of vampires. He gathers into his narrative typewriter-related rumors and anecdotes (Henry James became so accustomed to dictating his novels to a typist that he required the sound of a randomly operated typewriter even to begin to compose). And by broadening his focus to look at typewriting as a social system as well as the typewriter as a technological form, he examines the fascinating way that the tool has actually shaped the creative process.
With engaging subject matter that ranges over two hundred years of literature and culture in English, The Iron Whim builds on recent interest in books about familiar objects and taps into our nostalgia for a method of communication and composition that has all but vanished.

Fragmented is right.......2007-09-19
I heard an interview with the author on NPR which was fascinating. Unfortunately that did not carry over to his writing style. I found this book to be a bit like reading a stream-of-conciousness history of typewriting. It seemed that whatever entered the author's mind was then placed on a page with no logical progression. I also felt the book covered very odd things that had very little to do with typewriting, like an entire section devoted to rambling about EBay and random typing knick knacks. Overall I was very disappointed when I had been hoping for so much more.
Starts off slow, but is ultimately quite interesting..........2007-09-05
I would have rated it higher except for the exremely poor copy editing. What percentage of Arli's errors were simple keying errors? We'll never know, because the number is missing.
Other places, sentence fragments are arbitrarily repeated.
You'd think this thing was typed on a typewriter by a monkey. Or a cow. Or a cockroach.
Overall, quite a fun book.
A facinating exploration of a fascinating subject .......2007-04-05
This work is about a fascinating subject, especially I suspect to all those who have known the transition, first from the handwriting to the typing , and then from the typing to the word- processor modes of human expression. Wershler- Henry is interested in revealing to us the way the parts of the machine work together, and as he indicates the way to do this is to look at them when they have been discombobulated, when they are taken apart and seen not as the height of progress and invention, but as mere random pieces put together. Even more importantly he tells us his goal in writing this book is " to understand how typewriting shaped and changed not only Literature, but also our culture and sense of ourselves".
He ranges over a wide variety of subjects and includes descriptions of how the typewriter influenced the writing lives of some of the great literary masters. He too surveys what the change from the relatively harder - work of typewriting to the smooth more soundless touch of computer keys means for us.
His chapters are interestingly titled for example: Typewriting and Dictation, Typewriter Nostalgia, , Typewriting and Speed, Typewriting and Discipline, Writing Blind, Poet's Stave and Bar, Typewriters at War, Typewriting After the Typewriter.
He certainly tells us more about 'typewriting' than we who for years stabbed and banged on our favorite instrument could have ever understood of its complexity and significance.
Ah for my old Smith- Corona .

Customer Reviews:
Still Great........2007-03-21
I bought the first edition of this book when it came out, and I just bought this copy of the second edition because I wanted it.
This book is an extremely valuable reference book. If you follow the pricniples set forth in this book, your documents will look professional.
Robin Williams if the premier author of Macintosh books, and of books on design. All of her works are more than worth the price.
A quick and easy read for every writer who cares about looking professional........2007-01-13
I'm reminded of Shunk and White's "Elements of Style". Short, correct, and invaluable. That's what Robin William's book is for people who care about the look of their written word on a computer. It's easy to make your work look professional and "The Mac is Not a Typewriter" shows you how.
short read, great information.......2006-11-16
For first time mac users, this book is a must! It has great pointers and tips to understand some things most people don't know. It shows you differences in symbols, and shows you key commands that are useful and helpful. I learned a lot from this book.
It's still here! .......2006-03-26
I am so glad this book is still around! I had forgotten what a great, useful, overview of basic typographic principles this "little gem" is.
I teach a Graphic Design class for non-Graphic Design majors in an art college. I was stunned to see most of the students putting two spaces after periods in a book they were making in my class. I explained why this was uneccessary (and in fact wrong) with most typefaces available on the computer, and they said they had all learned this in computer classes in the various high schools they had attended.
I unearthed my copy of this book (from 1990!) and brought it in the next week. Some students went to Amazon right away and bought it. Their work improved markedly.
I will make this a required text for the class next year, and advise anyone looking to learn the basics of good, typographic layout to purchase this wonderful little book.
Must Have Book.......2006-02-07
This is a must have easy to read book that Mac users should have in their library. It provides helpful tips on how to make your designs look professional and help out with the work flow.

Robin WIlliams sets the future archetype for technology training.......2006-04-20
I cannot say enough good things about this woman's writing. She breaks the normal rules of teaching by rote, instead helps to impart a holistic understanding of the pros and cons of the technology, and thus it becomes obvious how to use it to the best effect. I have taught seminars using her books as reference materials, and recommend that everyone should own this book who uses a computer. Most people today learn technology by rote, this does not give a person the understanding necessary to face different software versions, or even different challenges that pop up everyday in the workplace. Many books written on technology are only good as doorstops, as they perpetuate the step by step learning by rote crap. This book, very thin and unassuming in it's length, get's in a user's brain like yeast and expands to help them to be able to comprehend WHY things work the way they do. I hope she writes a lot more books, especially one for Windows users, like her Little Mac Book. She deserves to be famous, successful, and prosperous.
Very outdated but still of some use for beginners.......2006-03-30
I did pick up one or two useful hints in this book. If you haven't managed to figure out for yourself that two spaces after a full stop (period) just looks plain stupid, then you will probably get a lot of utility from this book. As other reviewers have said - it is extremely short and light on content - you'll probably read the whole thing in an hour.
My main beef with this book is that it is very outdated. It contains solutions for many issues which are now handled automatically by modern operating systems and packages. There is constant mention of packages and keyboard shortcuts for programs that just don't exist anymore, many not even in the memories of most people (does anyone remember Ventura Publisher?)
The copyright notice at the front says 1992, and no printing date was listed. Surely after 14 years and selling so many copies Peachpit Press would have a bright idea to update this book for the present day? Different issues to examine and different ways to generate certain characters. If they had done this I would have found the book three times as useful.
Useful but an extremely short book.......2005-06-30
Not counting the introduction and appendices, the content is less than 50 pages. There are excellent tips for making a document appear more attractive and some nice "before" and "after" images are provided. Some tips are obvious for proficient users, like use tabs instead of spaces for indenting. That was the case for me, and I found this book to be overpriced for what I got out of it.
I hand out copies all the time.......2004-05-18
This and its companion "The Mac is not a Typewriter" are so important to everyone who writes a letter, types an e-mail, designs a sign, or creates a presentation. In short easy to understand lessons disguised as chapters, the reader learns everything that was lost when computers replaced typesetters. Though most Macintosh users are professional designers, they won't need this book, but for the millions of PC users out there, this is irreplaceable. I keep four or five copies of this book in my desk. Anyone I find that is breaking these rules and willing to learn how to make their published documents better, I hand them this book to read first. Don't try to learn it all at once. Read a couple chapters and master those skills, then read the next couple chapters. This book sits next to my dictionary and MLA Style Guide on my desk for ready reference.
You're not supposed to put two spaces after a period?!.......2004-04-04
I took great care to include two spaces after a period and before starting the next sentence. Williams explains why this in incorrect and why so many of us do it religiously, along with a host of other typographic rules. It's relatively short, the writing is concise and interesting and if you type on a computer you'll use what you learn from this book every day.
Book Description
Although John D. MacDonald published seventy novels and more than five hundred short stories in his lifetime, he is remembered best for his Travis McGee series. He introduced McGee in 1964 with The Deep Blue Goodbye. With Travis McGee, MacDonald changed the pattern of the hardboiled private detectives who preceeded him. McGee has a social conscience, holds thoughtful conversations with his retired economist buddy Meyer, and worries about corporate greed, racism and the Florida ecolgoy in a long series whose brand recognition for the series the author cleverly advanced by inserting a color in every title. Merrill carefully builds a picture of a man who in unexpected ways epitomized the Horatio Alger sagas that comprised his strict father's secular bible. From a financially struggling childhood and a succession of drab nine-to-five occupations, MacDonald settled down to writing for a living (a lifestyle that would have horrified his father). He worked very hard and was rewarded with a more than decent livelihood. But unlike Alger's heroes, MacDonald had a lot of fun doing it.

Life and Times and We miss you JDM!.......2005-10-04
Good book, enjoyable read. I am a author myself and I enjoy books about the great ones of our times. I would have liked more insight into the inner world of John D, but this is a still a must for fans of his work.
rather bland and superficial.......2003-02-05
I am a long time MacDonald fan, and have read most everything he wrote. I once made the pilgrimage to Bahia Mar to see the `Busted Flush' plaque mounted there.
I was delighted when I learned of Hugh Merrill's biography, and curious to know more about MacDonald, the man who created Travis McGee, and wrote so eloquently about the Florida environment.
The Red Hot Typewriter is a disappointment.
It is worth reading if you are a die-hard fan. It includes bits of interesting trivia. What was McGee's first name and why was it changed to Travis? Why the reference to a color in the Magee mystery series?
However, you finish the book feeling as if you don't know John D. MacDonald much better than you did when you began. The author obviously did a lot of research. Unfortunately he presents it in a rather bland and superficial manner. It's as if the author's primary reference source was MacDonald's correspondence, and he didn't go much beyond that. The thoughts and personal anecdotes of friends and family are, for the most part, missing.
What really surprises and disappoints me is that this book has no photographs, none, nada, zero. Pictures would have saved this book for me. I am at a loss to understand why any publisher would produce a biography without including pictures that complement the prose. One of many examples was Hugh Merrill's description of MacDonald's visit to the set where a Travis McGee mystery was being made into a movie. Surely, Warner Brothers publicity took pictures, but you won't find them in this biography.
Phone it in next time..........2001-04-16
How do you write a biography of a man and not talk to anyone who knew him, not visit anyplace he lived, and not include any photographs of the man or his family? It's easy: you write brief introductions to letters and passages from the writer's books, and call it a biography. The Red Hot Typewriter isn't red or hot. It is a color-by-numbers biography that is in the end colorless. A massive disappointment if you're a John D. fan, or a fan of good biography.
Educational and entertaining........2000-11-16
Having grown up reading the Travis McGee series and more recently reading the rest of the vast library of John D. MacDonald, I found this book personalized the late pulp master for me, as I hoped and expected. You get a feel for the intellect of both John D. and his wife; the influence of his romance and relationship with his wife comes through in his life's work. My only complaint about the book is that I wanted more...but, then again, that is the feeling that I have as I re-read all of John D. MacDonald's books.
Informative, but incomplete.......2000-08-15
As a diehard John D. MacDonald fan, I felt the book left much to be desired. MacDonald's pre-Travis McGee work, from l950-1960 most notably, was barely mentioned, or dismissed as unimportant. The author never took the time to interview the many people who worked with or knew MacDonald, relying only on correspondance. Overall, the book was a disappointment.
Book Description
The first extensive survey of contemporary travel writing, Tourists with Typewriters offers a series of challenging and provocative critical insights into a wide range of travel narratives written in English after the Second World War. The book focuses in particular on contemporary travel writers such as Jan Morris, Peter Matthiessen, V. S. Naipaul, Barry Lopez, Mary Morris, Paul Theroux, Peter Mayle, and the late Bruce Chatwin. It examines some of the reasons for travel writing's enduring popularity, and for its particular appeal to readers--many of them also travelers--in the present.
The book maps new terrain in a growing area of critical study. Although critical of travel writing's complacency and its often unacknowledged ethnocentrism, the book recognizes its importance as both a literary and cultural form. While travel writing at its worst emerges as a crude expression of economic advantage, at its best it becomes a subtle instrument of cultural self-perception, a barometer for changing views of "other" (i.e., foreign, non-Western) cultures, and a trigger for the information circuits that tap us into the wider world.
Tourists with Typewriters gauges both the best and worst in contemporary travel writing, capturing the excitement of this most volatile--and at times infuriating--of literary genres. The book will appeal to general readers interested in a closer examination of travel writing and to academic readers in disciplines such as literary/cultural studies, geography, history, anthropology, and tourism studies.
"An eminently readable and informative study. It breathes tolerance and intelligence. It is critically perceptive and very au courant. It raises issues (coloniality, postmodernity, gender. . . ) and discusses books that readers of many different stripes will want to find out about." --Ross Chambers, University of Michigan

Fabulous book.......1999-02-15
Incisive, educated, fascinating. Great reading!
Book Description
Though it couldn't be real, pianist Mike de Wolf suddenly finds himself the embattled main character in an adventure story being written by his friend, Horace Hackett. Transported inexplicably to another place and another time, he is embroiled in a desperate battle, fighting for his life as the notorious Miguel de Lobo.
After narrowly escaping death on the Spanish Main, Mike-as-Miguel deceives his English enemies with a ruse of apparent friendship and falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful flame-headed woman who has just rescued him from the razor-sharp blade of a cutlass.
Meanwhile, back in present day New York, Horace determinedly plots the demise of the villainous de Lobo, unaware anything is amiss in his swiftly changing story--the world in which Mike struggles to survive. But as the story unfolds, Mike-as-Miguel stumbles on a way he might possibly alter his iminent fate. To do so means to leave his lovely rescuer. To stay means almost certain death.

Review of abridged audio book..........2004-02-07
Rating System:
1 star = abysmal; some books deserve to be forgotten
2 star = poor; a total waste of time
3 star = good; worth the effort
4 star = very good; what writing should be
5 star = fantastic; must own it and share it with others
STORY: From back cover - "Through it couldn't be real, pianist Mike de Wolf suddenly finds himself the embattled main character in an adventure story being written by his friend, Horace Hackett. Transported inexplicably to another place and another time, he is embroiled in a desperate battle, fighting for his life as the notorious Spanish pirate Miguel de Lobo."
MY FEEDBACK:
1) Once I experienced L. Ron Hubbard's stories I've grown to really like his work a lot. He always has a character who is larger than life and extremely likeable. Also, his action is engaging and his plots satisfying.
2) This was a short (abridged) but fun pirate story with action and romance and humor
3) The end left me chuckling in appreciation...nuff said.
4) Jim Meskimen does the voices on the audio tape and is fun to listen too. He did seem to slip a few times on Mike de Wolfe's Irish accent but overall it was a well done acting job.
5) This is one of those stories not to take seriously. It is a very fast paced book full of clichés but delivered so well that it becomes a spoof on the pirate genre.
OVERALL: Very fun story that I couldn't guess the end to. Engaging at every level.
Really, I wonder why I continue to bother with Elron........2003-06-07
L. Ron Hubbard, Typewriter in the Sky (Bridge, 1940)
Why I continue to dabble in the writings of good old Elron is completely beyond me. Perhaps it is because his writing style is the kind that will let you breeze through a two-hundred-page hardback in an afternoon. Or maybe to remind myself why I read so little forties pulp sci-fi. I don't know.
Typewriter in the Sky is, above all, the story of Horace Hackett, a very bad pulp fiction writer during the Depression. Horace has a friend named Mike de Wolf, a down-on-his-luck pianist with an upcoming audition. As we open, Horace is trying to fend off his agent, who wants a book and wants it pronto. Horace comes up with the idea, the plot, and the plot twists (all of which, we get the idea from his agent, are old news), and models his villain on Mike, who happens to be in the apartment at the time. All well and good, until Mike finds himself actually living out the novel as Hackett writes it, able to hear the keys going in some other dimension (the typewriter in the sky of the title).
All of this would be painful, were Hubbard not to inject some details to make it, well, funny. De Wolf, in his seventeenth-century swashbuckling Spaniard incarnation, has a habit of noticing things Hackett doesn't research or puts out of place (for example, de Wolf stays the night in 1642 in a castle not built until the 1700s, and finds a 1900s Steinway in another building), while every once in a while we go back to the present day and listen to Hackett agonizing over his book. The end result is saved from awfulness by a sense of self-deprecation.
Unfortunately, said sense of self-deprecation is not applied to Hubbard's own writing. The book is chock-full of painful one-sentence paragraphs, overloaded with exclamation points, and other such pulp conventions stolen from the pens of G. A. Henty and his contemporaries. They are slightly forgivable thanks to the humor, but that doesn't make the book any less painful a read.
Quick, easy, but not all that good. **
Another 1940 L. Ron Hubbard Classic.......2002-12-19
First published in 1940, in Unknown Fantasy Fiction, this book is a timeless classic. The story is about someone that finds himself shifting between this world and a world created by an author. Will the story play out as written or will he be able to change the story world he is stuck in?
One of L. Ron Hubbard's pen names (René Lafayette) even makes an appearance in the story. This is a great fantasy book that reads very quickly and it a lot of fun.
Good For A Laugh.......2001-10-03
It is truly a shame that L. Ron Hubbard will likely be remembered only for Dianetics. The truth is this. He was one of the greatest writers of science fiction ever published. Books like Battlefield Earth are a testament to the talent of this man. And then there is Typewriter In The Sky. This is a magnificently funny book! The lead character, Mike de Wolf, finds himself transported into a novel being written by a friend. Here he is known as Miguel de Lobo and he quickly learns that he is not to be cast as the hero. Knowing that the villain must die in the end Mike has to find some way to stay alive in a world that is chock full of anachronisms and stereotypes. He must find a way to outsmart the author who is unknowingly guiding his fate. And he must do it while staying within the parameters of the character he has been cast into. This is a great book and very much worth the cover price.
