It also contains information on the history of the Parker refill unit, how a ballpoint pen works and innovative ideas used by Parker.  A recent addition to the book is a repair section of the more common models.

This book makes an interesting read for any collector of writing instruments as it does not read like and is not meant to be an encyclopaedia; although it would be of considerable value to the Parker ballpoint collector.

The book includes a CD with 90 images of Parker ballpoints - showing many prototypes from Parker's own archive in Newhaven, UK.
