Hi Jonathan thak you for joining us. I'm one of the people owning your book edited by idealibri; it at least has some beautiful photos, but as from your warning it is better to not read the text.

Yes, sorry again about that Alfredo. The problem with that book was that no one actually edited it!

The publisher took a load of photos from my first book and sent it to me with a disastrous text they had written, without of course any knowledge of fountain pens. I said "you cant publish this load of rubbish, it is full of hundreds of mistakes and all the photos are in the wrong places: They then said "But we arent paying you to correct them, nor will we be paying you royalties".

We then agreed that they werent to publish it. When they did, I sued and I suppose it cost them a few hundred thousand dollars to learn that they shouldnt have published it.

If you want the real book with three times as many photos, get the first book 'Fountain Pens - A Collector's Guide" which is available in numerous languages or the second book Fountain Pens Their History and Art, published by Rizzoli (Enigma books now).

As soon as there is another two day show, I will be there to see all my Italian friends again and will bring copies with me.
