Nice way to spend a couple hours...

I worked all night so I had the afternoon to myself and decided to ride my bike to Barnes & Noble. I usually look at knife mags, Consumer Digest, Muscle cars, etc.. but today I decided to see what if any pen books they had. Boy did they have a nice one! This was a HUGE, hard back that spanned 100+ years on pens with great pics, history and a value guide. If it weren't listed for $95 I'd get it. Online is still $84+ S&H. The pens in there are enough to make anyone remotely interested take notice and if you are a collector at all then you'll froth at the mouth.

This is the definitive source according to many, me included.

And thank you, I'll be looking for your suggestion very soon!

Saw that one on Amazon. Man I wish they were a bit less expensive but these books are well constructed, illustrated and full of info.

I lucked out to find one with a torn dust jacket once. Here is some info.

I don't dare to open the books. Just looking at the covers makes me want more pens!
