The RichardsPens Guide to Fountain Pens, Volume 1: Glossopedia (Fifth Edition)

This Glossopedia is a compact glossary/mini-encyclopedia of words, phrases, and names, with more than 1450 definitions and descriptions, more than 870 illustrations, more than 160 patent citations linked to their respective patent documents at the Google Patents Web site or the www.fountainpen.it Web site, and extensive cross-references. Its specific focus, like my own, is fountain pens, but I am sufficiently distractible that some entries relating to ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, etc., have inevitably crept in.
