Pardon svp, Akiko -- that should be "erasers," not "erasures."

As you must have noticed, Henry Petroski's *The Pencil* also includes references to Nabokov:
And Vladimir Nabokov articulated the same idea with a different image: "I have written--often several times--every word I have ever published. My pencils outlast their erasures" (50).
In its 1940 catalogue, the Eagle Pencil Company offered its top-of-the-line Mikado (five cens in its basic style) specially equipped--perhaps for writers like Nabokov--with an "oversize eraser, big enough to outlast the pencil" (352).
Best,
Akiko
