Last night I was having a sort through my bookshelves at home. Inevitably I got distracted and started looking through a few. The great David Shepherd books on the Parker "51" and Duofold, Lambrou's Fountains Pens of the World.... but, in amongst those was a gem I had forgotten - Miller's Pens and Writing Equipment: A Collector's Guide by Jim Marshall.

This was the first pen book I bought, and is great just to flick through and browse (though aren't they all?). It is a a great starter book for pen collectors, but even those with a longer standing interest in the subject will probably enjoy it too (and its cheap compared to most books on pens). It is not a particularly comprehensive study of pens, but is an interesting book as it covers a wide view across the whole subject from early dip pens, ink wells through to modern collectibles. 64 pages, complete with great pictures and less than a tenner.
