Hand-written address books are fast becoming an endangered species in the 21st century. They’re share the same (sinking) boat as writing paper, postcards, thank you notes, journals… The mobile phone, computer and other technology have a lot to answer for!
Don’t allow them to become extinct, fight back! Go get yourself one and transfer all your Outlook contacts to it – in your best handwriting and using a nice fountain pen!
As the front cover of address book #1 muses (or predicts, if you’re that way inclined!):
“Quite sweet how we still write everything down, just in case aliens come and smash up all our computers or something.”
