5.0 out of 5 stars Collecting Fountain Pens, August 14, 2007

By	Stuart Schneider "Author of books on collecti... (Teaneck, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here is the classic book for the fountain pen collector. It shows lots of pens, provides a value guide, and gives you plenty of information about the pens, the companies. The photography is top notch and you wont have to squint to see what the authors are trying to show. Loads of really rare pens also, so there is something to be on the lookout for. I really like this book and also have it in the limited edition of 300 with the leather cover.
