New Pen Magazine: Penthusiast


Tasmith

Recommended Posts

Discovered this new pen magazine, PenThusiast at the Baltimore pen show. They had a table setup and gave free copies to attendees.

 

Very nice magazine that not only has articles about fountain pens, but other "analogue lifestyle" interests and subjects.

 

Their editorial advisory board includes Kerry Adams, Stephen Brown, Paul Erano and Joseph M. Vitolo, DMD.

Seems like a pretty cool magazine. How many pages were the issues at the pen show?

 

Hopefully these people are willing to ship overseas.

Thanks for sharing this Tasmith.

 

Im almost ready to subscribe but they have apparently not updated their website, at least the one I can see on my iPad. The one I see says something about coming soon in August 2017. I will check again from my desktop PC. Seems promising. I almost subscribed to Paul Eranos newsletter and think its a good thing hes on the board. And Joe Vitolo is a well-known Spencerian enthusiast who is active in the IAMPETH organization (https://www.iampeth.com/home).

 

I have requested a complimentary copy.

 

Is the Steven Brown the same guy famous for all those YouTube fountain pen reviews?

Yes, the same Steven Brown.

 

Kerry Adams is of the Pens & Tea YouTube channel.

 

I received the December, 2017 and February, 2018 issues at the show. Read and enjoyed each issue.

If it's an FPO address I would think they would since technically it's a California address.

Oh cool, I hope so. I know a lot of companies have issues with sending stuff to me just for being overseas but I'll have to try and find out.

 

Also, ~30-40 pages sounds like a decent amount of content. If I can get a copy, I can't wait to see it.

I spent four years in Iwakuni, so I know what you mean about some companies not shipping to an FPO. Never had problems with magazines or books, just some retail companies.

No problem Emilie.

 

Here, as youve probably figured out by now, peoples screen names appear in the little blue bar as you see with Tasmith and the others here.

This is awesome! I hope they have trial issues left! I'd love to get a copy!

Hmmm. How did I miss this? Wait. Were they in the middle of the big ballroom? I think I did see their table, but didn't realize that there were freebies available.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
