Before the age of word processors and autocorrect, the ability to type was a coveted and practical skill — and Type It Yourself by Brenda Rowe stands as a clear-headed, accessible guide for anyone determined to master the typewriter independently. Rowe presents a structured, self-paced programme that instructs the complete beginner through the fundamentals of touch-typing, covering finger placement, keyboard familiarity, speed-building exercises, and the conventions of professional document layout, all without the need for a formal classroom setting. A product of its era, this Penguin Books publication argues that typing proficiency is well within the reach of any motivated individual, democratising a skill that was once the preserve of secretarial colleges and office training schemes. Rowe's style is brisk and encouraging, stripping away intimidation and replacing it with methodical confidence. A charming period artefact and a surprisingly effective self-teaching manual, it leaves one wondering just how many letters, reports, and manuscripts were tapped into existence by its dedicated readers.
