There finally is a site for my book about the history of keyboards.

I think you’ll enjoy it. There are quite a few fun/interactive things in there, and you can sign up to be notified when the Kickstarter is ready! https://shifthappens.site

Shift Happens: A book about keyboards

Shift Happens tells the story of keyboards like no book ever before, covering 150 years from the early typewriters to the pixellated keyboards in our pockets.

@PamelaBarroway It’s ready! A tiny round of proofreading the last batch of updates, and indexing is what remains.

@mwichary Nice! As a related aside, I was helping my 86yo mom clean out her locker recently and found something I’d been looking for years for: my dad’s (z”l) manual typewriter, in its original case, still in great shape. I think it must date from the late 1940s. I brought it home to show my teen that not every keyboard requires a plug or recharge!
