Reviews
'The book is not just a scientific Fedora-fueled foray into intriguing artefacts. It is a gift of knowledge and long-bottled passion, something everyone should read for work or for pleasure and a text that would not be out of place next to other great tomes on your bookshelf.' Anjum Naweed, Ergonomics
