Winter 05 PENNANT preview

[Len Provisor]

"Outstanding!" "Stunning!" "A reference for years to come!"

 

"A First Class production by Fultz!"

 

some of the first comments from readers on this exceptional issue.

 

I can modestly say that the last PENNANT issue featuring Holland Pens would be a

tough act to follow, however this issue of the Winter 2005 PENNANT magazine has

reached a new plateau in penology.

 

A more complete review will follow, however I could not wait to give you a peek

at this issue.
