*** Our Next Pen Show Will Be the Washington DC Fountain Pen SuperShow ***

We will not be attending the Triangle Pen Show or any other shows before
DC. Have a great summer!

The RichardsPens Guide to Fountain Pens, Volume 2: Restoration has been
available in two deluxe printed editions for a couple of months. Have you
bought your copy yet?

This is the book that repair expert Jim Marshall calls "a formidable
book...if you are interested in restoration, don't miss this one!" You
asked for it in print, and we’re happy to say we’ve made it happen.

We’re offering a premium full-color perfect-bound paperback through
Amazon.com. The inside margin is wide enough that you can have it
punched and put into a 3-ring binder. Or if you’d prefer a larger format
that will lie flat on your repair bench, we've arranged with another
vendor to supply a special oversize coil-bound edition, as well. Of
course, the Restoration volume, like the rest of our guides, is still
available in multiple ebook formats as well!

Please check out my other books while you're getting ready to order your
copy.

IF SALES OF THESE PRINTED BOOKS JUSTIFY THE EFFORT AND EXPENSE, WE WILL
MAKE THE OTHER VOLUMES IN THE RICHARDSPENS GUIDE SERIES AVAILABLE AS
PRINTED EDITIONS FOR YOU.

*** On the Monthly Pen Show Tray ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some great pens on the April Tray, including EIGHT Nib Alert
pens and a beautiful NOS postwar Sheaffer Crest. Be there at promptly
10:00 p.m. Thursday, March 31, or someone else will beat you to the pen
you want.

*** Broad Strokes ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still on the subject of filling systems, I've greatly expanded my
article on lever fillers, even adding one that I'll bet you never saw
before.

*** Pens That Write Right! ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless otherwise requested at the time of sale or unless otherwise noted
in Barbara's Attic, I personally tune each new nib we sell at no extra
charge before shipment. I test the nib in a pen filled with Waterman
Mysterious Blue ink and write with it on paper of better than average
quality, adjusting as necessary to bring it up to the RichardsPens.com
"factory" standard for smoothness and flow.

If you order a new nib with customization (gold nibs only), I will
modify the nib (for an extra charge), and we will ship it without any
extra delay.
