A book about pens, old and very old.Mr. Bowen evidently updated the book from time to time, and includes photos, history, advertisements, and relevant information about the several manufacturers he lists, their models, materials, technical advancements. The book itself is in pretty good condition, considering its age and that it is a paperback.
Verified purchase: Yes
The book arrived quickly and safely in great condition. Though the pages are all black and white, the reproductions of old catalogue pages and ads are generally clear. Text is divided logically, there are reference pages, and the pens pictured are identified. The author provides historical information on both the pens and their manufacturers. Although the prices for pens are out of date, other information on collectible items remains a good resource for collectors, hobbyists, and users of fountain pens.
There is a lot of information here. I do wish there were color photos as well as the black and white ones but overall this book has been helpful.
