Why this promotion, are you the owner of that website?

[welch]

No. What promotion? I saw it on the Facebook site owned by Dr. Da vid Issa acson, a big time collector who no longer can post here. I don't know either of the authors, identified as  Daniel A. Zazove and Ramon Campos. Never heard of either of them.

welch,

Just for your information.

Ramon Campos have had a web site in Spain with information about Parker & Sheaffer's for longtime

D. A. Zazove is the author of most of the published books on Parker

The interesting thing of this page is that they seem to be collaborating now which will be very useful for those interested in Parker.

I hope this is useful for you.

ok, I am not into facebook and I am surprised about that team. Daniel Zazove is a highly respected historian of writing equipment but the Spanish person has a long and dubious record on mixing facts with fiction when it comes to writing down Parker and Sheaffer history.

IIRC, Campos got kicked off of FPN for posting spurious information.  I'm not familiar with Zazove.

I've met Issacson at some of the pen shows I was at.  Why was he kicked off here?

Isaacson departed after posing an ad that appeared on the back of Cigar  Aficionado magazine in error. Some of us think he was hacked but that was never proven.

Best I remember, Dr. David got into a circular argument with a woman here. It got ugly.

On another pen site, someone reminded me that Campos had posted "spurious information" and had posted parts of other people's research as his own.

 

Perhaps he has pulled research from Zazove and added his name, as if he is co-author?

I know Campos have had problems with some people, I am not close enough to know, but Zazove will most probably be in Chicago in a few days, it would be worth asking him to clarify this, since if someone knows about Parker is him.

I spoke with Dan Zazove about this the first time I saw his name attached to an article with Ramon.  He said that he is indeed helping Ramon write articles now.  I think it will help keep Ramon's crazy theories in check.
