I've been reading this book recommended by Fred about the history of writing implements. It's really cool.

What other books would you recommend for a neophyte interested in pen history?

Of particular interest is the development of the pen industry in America, and history of major brands like Parker, Sheaffer, Wahl, Esterbrook, etc.

Are there other published sources of fountain pen history, like magazines or blogs, that would be good to look at?

Thanks!
