Bücher
for Montblanc Collectors
 

  Here you will find a (unfortunately not quite complete *) overview of books, that are of particular interest to collectors of Montblanc writing instruments.

*Unfortunately missing are, among others, the books by Regina Martini.


 
Author: Jens Rösler
Title: The Montblanc Diary & Collectors Guide

This book (by now itself already a collector's item) dedicates itself to the Montblanc writing instruments and the history of the company from 1908 to 1947.

It provides a comprehensive overview of the writing instruments manufactured by Montblanc during this time and describes the development of the company in detail.

This book is a MUST for every Montblanc Collector, unfortunately but it is now only very rarely to be found.

 
Authors: Jens Rösler and Stefan Wallrafen
Title: Collectible Stars

In this book the Montblanc writing instruments from 1946-1979 are presented - it is thus the ideal supplement to the book presented above. "Collectible Stars" focuses primarily on collectors, it provides a really comprehensive overview of the fountain pens, ballpoint pens and pencils produced and also lists corresponding guide prices for new-condition writing instruments.

 
Author: Montblanc
Title: Collectible Stars

In this book all limited writing instruments from 1991 to 2003 presented, which is an edition of at least 333 pieces. Too bad actually, because the ambitious collectors often miss the rarer Montblanc writing instruments - there are indeed numerous lesser-known editions with a much smaller Edition.

This book is thus aimed at the "new" collector who first discovers his passion for Montblanc writing instruments.

Title: Die Seelenmacher - Acht Porträts

This book dedicates itself to the actual "Stars", the employees of Montblanc. It impresses above all through its photographs - the writing instruments, bags and watches are virtually "emotionally charged". Montblanc products are not just, for example, a bag; they embody so much more - such as life experience, patience and precision.

Conclusion: never before has corporate communication been so emotional.

Title: A History of the Firm Montblanc

This book was created for the inauguration of the new Montblanc building and places, alongside the writing instruments, the people who have shaped Montblanc at the forefront. Through numerous advertising brochures, the development of the company is presented with its successes, but also the more difficult times.

At the end of the book you will also find photos of celebrities who own a Montblanc.
 
Editors: Giorgio Dragoni and Giuseppe Fichera
Title: fountain pen

In this book a variety of writing instrument manufacturers are presented - including of course also Montblanc. The first chapters of the book address the significance of writing and the history of the fountain pen. A second part presents a selection of fountain pens, including der "Rouge et Noir", mehrere Astoria fountain pen, der 139 sowie "moderne" fountain pen wie der "Lorenzo de Medici".

The Montblanc collector's heart surely beats faster at sentences like these:
"Of all fountain pens ever manufactured, no matter from which manufacturer and at what time, the Masterpiece series by Montblanc is undoubtedly the one that breaks all records in terms of size, beauty, durability and robustness." p. 173

This book is still partially available in retail.

Title: fountain pen

The focus of this book is on fountain pens from 1900 to 1945. A thematic focus regarding a specific manufacturer is not apparent - Montblanc writing instruments can therefore be found in this book, however they are for my taste somewhat underrepresented. Nevertheless it is a truly beautiful book with numerous illustrations of old fountain pens and many explanations and notes.
