    I've just read a similar article in the UK Daily Mail. It's good news. Not only are people interested in learning the art of good hand writing but it also shows some confidence in the economy because they are a truely discretionary spend.

    "Children should be discouraged from using this type of pen". Right, I will tell my 9 year old granddaughter to give me her pen back

    And to think Watch Time magazine just dropped their non-watch related columns, one of which was on Fountain Pens.
