Since I am fairly new to fountain pens, I need to build a bit more knowledge. Are there any online publications: books, magazines, blogs, etc. that I should be checking out?
I’ll add The Well Appointed Desk to your radar.
Also someone already mentioned the Pen Addict but I’ll add that they do have a list of other resources under “Pen Friends” all the way at the bottom.
Someone had mentioned The Well Appointed Desk on Mastodon, but not the “Pen Friends” on Pen Addict. Cool - thanks.
Maybe jetpens.com? They also have a youtube channel
Yeah, I had already seen their YouTube channel (watched a series of videos of a couple of employees trying to identify different ballpoint / rollerball pens – not as entertaining as I’d hoped for, but still good).
I did manage to add their blog to my feed reader – but I will be taking it with a grain of salt since they are a retailer trying to sell products that they carry.
My go-tos are:
- The Pen Addict (blog and podcast)
- Mountain of Ink (blog on inks)
- JetPens (articles - I don’t shop there as I’m not in the US)
Thanks - I added all of those to my feed reader.
