Hanks’ debut book is due in October

NEW YORK

Tom Hanks is putting his love of vintage typewriters to good use – his collection of short stories will be published in October.

The Oscar-winning actor’s first book, “UNCOMMON TYPE: Some Stories,” features 17 stories, each in some way involving a different typewriter.

It’s due out Oct. 24 from Alfred A. Knopf, the publisher said Tuesday.
