The Art of Sharpening Pencils

“Me starting my pencil sharpening business over the last two years coincided with the end of my marriage. And the book, in a way, is kind of like a memoir of the last two years of my life, disguised as a pencil sharpening manual. I know that sounds super-pretentious and ambitious, but it’s in there in terms of references and throwaway lines.”
 — David “Relationshapes” Rees wrote a book about pencil-sharpening that’s very charming, and which you can buy here, if you’d like. (See also: previously and elsewhere.) Hard to believe it’s been almost a year since that last Relationshape.
