I purchased my book direct from Stephen at last year's Midland Pen Show. It's a wonderful book that you just have to keep on dipping into :thumbup:

I would urge anyone considering buying this book to do it now ! From talking with Steve, it is extremely unlikely it will ever have another production run. As well as the inestimable time he devoted to producing the book, with research and his inherent knowledge, it has been an expensive book to produce. The quality of quality of the pictures, script, the veracity of knowledge Steve posses and shares, is unparalleled and not available internet based.

I agree - fantastic book - I have the 'limited edition' version! I am really looking forward to the planned Onoto book as well.

Very interesting book. What is the North American price?

 

I've not seen it here, but Mary Burke quoted me US$40 postage plus, I think, US$110 for the book. I paid GBP65 for mine, including 20% VAT a (small) portion of which I got back. You might be able to order a copy from Dr E.M. Rose in Cheddar, UK for GBP 65 plus GBP 10 postage at http://www.writetime.co.uk/

click on the Conway Stewart tab.

 

Thank you for this post. I ordered mine from Dr. Rose yesterday and it should be winging its way to me shortly. Oh happy day!!! bunny01.gif

An Onoto (The Pen) book? Tell me more. I'm loving the CS book, having read about half of it over Christmas.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
