Fountain Pens Steinberg's book presents many pens rarely, or never, seen before. Numerous unusual pens are beautifully illustrated in this small but abundant volume. Fountain Pens: Their History And Art traces the history of the development of the pen from early reservoir systems to self-filling pens to modern reproductions. The book features more than one hundred four-color images, from lush photographic portraits of individual pens to rare vintage advertisements and original patent illustrations. The presentation of the book has an intentional, subtly antiqued feel that compliments the pens it depicts. |

This book, like his previous works, is filled with hundreds of lush photographs and personal family memories supplied by Geoffrey Parker. We are taking orders for this book. |

excellent text along with Dan Zazove's remarkable knowledge are enclosed within
the broad binding of this major volume. Many other people contributed to the images
