1.0 out of 5 stars Large in size -- much of it fluff., August 24, 1998

By A Customer

Considering the size of this volume, it is amazingly devoid of substance or content. Althought the author has done a creditable job of collecting photos (mostly B&W), and reprinting vintage advertisements, no additional information, which might have added perspective or insight, is provided. How can you date a Parker Vacumatic? What years are indicated by three bands versus one? Which colors or model variations are most common or rarest? These are the types of information that would have made this book useful to both beginning and experienced collectors. Unfortunately, the author provides none of this, and what results is a virtually useless hodgepodge of recycled advertisements.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for 1988 Prices Only!, February 13, 2001

By	Craig C. Brandau - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unlike most books on this subect, this edition has very few color photos and print quality is that of a copy machine. Its only redeming quality is its price listings that are already three years old.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful as a guide as to what is collectable and what is not., January 27, 1999

By A Customer

I find this book to be very helpful as one of serveral reference books for buying and selling pens. As with everything, you must learn to use information to your benefit. More color pictures would be nice.
