About the book
A brilliant book describing in depth the application and use of the pen. Descriptions are far more detailed than found in more modern books of this type and some lost knowledge of using the pen in a sufficient way can be discovered. Maginnis helps to understand the full process from the very first steps of how to create marks on paper to the more advanced stages of its use.
