THANK YOU FOR COMING TO VINTAGEPEN.COM
A couple of hundred thousand of you have bought my first book on Fountain Pens in the half dozen languages in which it has been published over five continents: Many collectors have approached me at shows and said that you really liked it; it provided you your initial introduction into the field; it taught you all you needed to know; you wouldn’t dream of going to a flea market without it; It was the most useful book for assisting with negotiation on pens when you were dealing with totally un-knowledgeable antique dealers etc
Which is gratifying. I really appreciate the kind comments and tried to provide a proper introduction to the field in a form which you would all like. Even if it was insidiously designed to HOOK the innocent reader into unwittingly becoming a collector
MY NEW BOOK: FOUNTAIN PENS - THEIR HISTORY AND ART
Fountain pens – their history and art
it is published by enigma books under ISBN No:1-929631-99-5 and was designed by Rizzoli Publishing . It will be available everywhere. I am hoping it will be even more interesting and useful than THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
