My copy of the Ultimate Book of Pens by Barbro Garenfeld and Dietmar Geyer and published by H.F. Ullman arrived today. All I can say is wow! It is a coffee table sized book that tells the history of writing instruments in a serious way, rather than just depending on the photos. I have not read the whole thing yet, of course, but I am really looking forward to doing so. I'm sure others have this book and I'd be interested in other folk's comments.

As long as you remember that in particular the history section is more "folklore" than actual history it's fine. But whenever you see the famous Waterman Ink Blob fable be wary.
