The second of April will be an exciting day for British pen fanciers (and others) as the eagerly-awaited Smaller English Pen Makers 1890 – 1930 by Stephen Hull and Andy Russell goes on sale then.  I have been given a pre-publication copy and can report that it is a beautiful book, well organised and illustrated but it is the information that the authors have garnered that make this volume a must for every pen collector’s bookshelf.  So often have I found pens that are not mentioned in my other reference books or on the internet.  A great many of them are here and it makes fascinating reading.  It’s another triumph for englishpenbooks.co.uk.
