"Leadhead's Pencil Blog" was started in November, 2011 as an update service for Jonathan Veley's first book, The Catalogue of American Mechanical Pencils. The blog quickly took on a life of its own and developed into a treasure trove of information for the pencil collector. Part travelogue, part musings about collecting and the people that he meets, and a double portion of detailed history and photographs of vintage mechanical pencils, this volume is a must for serious pencil collectors and casual collectors alike.
