Miller's Collector's Guide: Pens and Writing Equipment by Jim Marshall
Pens, pencils and related ephemera is a large collecting field. This practical guide is designed to be an introduction to this subject. The book is divided into three sections - pens, pencils and writing equipment - and within these each section is divided chronologically. The book follows the development of designs, gives a wealth of information on manufacturers such as Parker, Sheaffer, Waterman and Montblanc, and include hints on dating, condition, restoration and care.
