Welcome to Fine Print Pens
Dedicated to telling stories about a lifelong fascination with pens (and pencils!)
Greetings to one and all,

I have a very nice collection of fountain pens, rollerballs, ball-point pens, brushes, markers, charcoals and pencils. Some of them never leave my shirt-pocket, some never see the light of day once they go into my cabinet.

- My name is Giovanni Giorgio and I have a problem…Take a look at this picture; do you think I have a problem? …forgot some! People who know me know that I know watches. I’ve collected themContinue reading “My name is Giovanni Giorgio and I have a problem…”
- Why pens?…because we’re not telepathic! If we were I wouldn’t have had to tell you. #montblanc#omas#montegrappa#parker#Pelikan#Cartier#Sailor#pentel
