Pencils You Should Know traces the evolution of pencils over time and across the globe

From the humble, handcrafted pencil of the 19th century to the novelty writing implement of the 1990s, each object in this book tells a different story.

This book features a selection of 75 modern and vintage pencils curated by pencil powerhouse Caroline Weaver, owner of legendary New York pencil emporium CW Pencil Enterprise. Pencil fanatics will find old favorites here - the original Blackwing 602 puts in an appearance, of course - and make exciting new discoveries, too.

The long, skinny book was designed to emulate a brand new box of pencils. Vintage pencils and accessories are photographed against vibrant, colorful backgrounds and accompanied by Weaver's insightful commentary. A pocket-sized love letter to one of the most important inventions in human history

This supremely charming little book celebrates the enduring magic of the pencil.

Trace the history of the pencil over time and across the globe, and discover everything you need to know about this simple yet ingenious invention.

A great book for pencil collectors, admirers, historians, artists, writers-anyone who gets excited about the new Palomino Blackwing, a perfectly sharpened No. 2 Ticonderoga. This little book is the perfect gift for pencil devotees, analog and vintage ephemera lovers, designers, and fans of CW Pencil Enterprise.

Love these socks! They are absorptive, comfortable, supportive, attractive & great fitting!
Size: Medium, Color: White/Gray (6 Pairs)
These have been my go-to socks for almost 8 years now. I love that they are cotton, so they absorb sweat rather than give you that slimy feel you can get from polyester. They have great support in the mid foot and fit great due to the sizing. Just the right amount of padding and exhibiting an attractive low cut below the ankles. I highly recommend these socks. I hope this is helpful.

So comfortable

They are so comfortable on my feet. Not thin but not so thick your feet are hot. Very comfy and well made. Socks that will last.

Fit like a glove… on your feet!
Size: Large, Color: White (6-pairs)
There socks! What else can I say?! Good fit! Good feel! Good quality! A little more on the thicker than thinner side, so if you want a really thin white ankle maybe go another direction.
