This book is not only about my collection of pencils, but explains in depth the history of the mechanical pencil during a period of over one hundred years from 1822 to 1940.
Many discussions with specialist collectors that led me on to the idea of presenting this unique collection to the public and particulary to enthusiasts.
The collection shows a wide range and diversity of styles of pencils from pistols, rifles, pipes, cigars, oars, boats, tennis rackets and golf clubs.
