The Basic...is Andreas Lambrouu's, Fountain Pens Vintage and Modern. I have the '89 Edition; I was told the newer edition is not better....even used the '89 edition is not cheap.

Look at the US or English prices found my German edition was not as expensive as I had thought.

 

I did not know my A&Elbow before getting that book, in spite of many many megs of copied material. Suddenly I no longer needed a flashlight.

This depends a bit on your area of interest. Some of the books that I’ve enjoyed reading:

Onoto The Pen by Stephen Hull

The Swan Pen by Stephen Hull

OMAS by Emilio Dolcini

History of The Italian Fountain Pen by Letizia Iacopini

Pen Repair by Jim Marshall, Laurence Oldfield
Several books by Richard Binder as fountain pen guides

 

There are some others that I like to read but haven’t got around it. Enjoy reading!

Antique Writing Instruments by Stuart Schneider and George Fischler

Another vote for the Marshall and Oldfield book, although I don't have the most recent (4th?) edition of it.

If you are interested in Parkers, there's a book specifically on Vacumatics and another one (which I don't have) about Parker 51s. Not sure of the author(s).

And somewhere in my house I have the book on Esterbrook pens written by FPN's very own Hobiewan.
