|title=The Curious History of Writer's Cramp: Solving an age-old problem
|author=Michael Pritchard
|rating=4
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=''Society is based on speech but civilisation requires the written word''.
 
I came to Michael Pritchard's ''The Curious History of Writer's Cramp'' by a rather strange route. I have problems with my hands which orthopaedic surgeons refer to as 'interesting': I prefer the word 'painful' but I have an interest in the way that hands work. An exploration of the history of a problem which has defeated some of the best medical minds for some three-hundred-years seemed liked excellent background reading and so it proved, with the book being as much about the doctors treating the sufferers and the changing medical attitudes as the problem itself.
