Customer Reviews

If ya want a coffee table book about pens,this is it!!
If you want a book with lots of colour photos to compare and admire,then this is the book for you.As all coffee table books,not exactly overflowing with information,but has more than the usual.

Collecting Fountain Pens
Here is the classic book for the fountain pen collector. It shows lots of pens, provides a value guide, and gives you plenty of information about the pens, the companies. The photography is top notch and you wont have to squint to see what the authors are trying to show. Loads of really rare pens also, so there is something to be on the lookout for. I really like this book and also have it in the limited edition of 300 with the leather cover.
