Any Opinions On Book: 'fountain Pens Past & Present (2Nd Ed.)' By Paul Erano?

[MikeyW]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking at picking up a copy of Paul Erano's book Fountain Pens Past & Present (2nd edition) and have a copy lined up but the price (combined with shipping) is reasonably hefty (for someone in my financial bracket anyway lol). Before I pull the trigger on this purchase, was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular title and whether they could please offer some thoughts on it?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Mike, this is a good book with lots of great photographs. And it covers both vintage and modern pens. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

This is Paul's third book, and a good one, and is accurate. Paul knows his stuff, which is one reason why he was asked by the PCA to be the editor of the Pennant. It's also the most recent book covering a wide range of pens VS a brand, model or region focus.

 

Paul is a friend, but I was buying and referring to his books long before I got to know him.
