It's not very often that you see a post about something cool in the Montblanc section that doesn't cost $1000 or more. I took a chance on buying this book through ebay and I was more than happy with the purchase.
The book is on the smaller side at 8"x8", but it is very well made. Thick covers and pages, high quality photos, and it's a total of 152 pages long.
The best part about it was the value: I originally paid $27 shipped for it. However, the seller sent me a message shortly after to tell me there was a scratch on the back cover. Long story short, he knocked off $5, sent me two copies and threw in a Montblanc polishing cloth. Now that I've seen it in person, I would have happily paid $25-30 for a used copy. Much less the $11 I ended up paying for each book. I would have bought 10 more to give as presents if he had any left, but these were the last two.
Here are a few pictures to share with all of you. Sorry that some are a little blurry. I'd be happy to take more if anyone would be interested.
