It is confirmed that the Writers Edition 2007 is dedicated to William Faulkner; design and materials were not officially announced at the time of the early hints. First indications from international forums suggest a brown colour scheme, which was received with reservation in the forum. It is discussed that Montblanc, in choosing the namesakes, has the US-American and Asian markets strongly in mind, since the German-speaking market accounts for only a small share of total turnover; German-speaking classics like Goethe or Kant have been wished for for years without success. Concrete nib engravings and detail shots were not expected until shortly before delivery.
