The Biro Ballpoint Pen
by L Graham Hogg
This A4 size book gives an in-depth look at the birth of the ballpoint pen from JJ Loud in 1888 to the amazing success of the modern BiC Cristal. It details the history of pioneering companies like Eterpen, Stratopen, Birome, Birolco, Reynolds, Eversharp, Eberhard Faber, Parker, Sheaffer, Miles-Martin [Biro], BiC and others. It also includes a comprehensive biography of Laszlo Biro focusing on his contribution to the development of the ballpoint pen. It also includes information on how a ballpoint pen works and why it has become the ubiquitous writing instrument today.
Read how the American Milton Reynolds became a multi-millionaire over night, how Biro lost control of his invention and how Marcel Bich initially manufactured his ballpoints illegally!
This book was not written solely for ballpoint collectors, it was written as a good read for people interested in modern history - especially writing instruments. Don't believe what you see on the internet; read the facts for yourself here!
