As many of you may know, this is the last and final edition of the
somewhat
famous Ink Sampler. This last edition has 492 current, near current
and
vintage ink samples in it. It is without a doubt the largest and
most
inclusive edition of the book in its 10 year history! Who could
ever
imagine that there are more than 492 fountain pen inks out there?

I can imagine that number because much of the world isn't caught up in
the wasteful disposable lifestyle. Imagine the resourses that are used
manufacturing cheap disposable pens. It's similar to smokers that use
Bic lighters rather than investing in one good Zippo. The next time
someone gets on your case for using a fountain pen, kindly remind them
that the "green alternative" makes better sense. -LarryW
