Parker Duofold

by David Shepherd & Dan Zazove
In collaboration with PARKER



As was David's previous book, his latest collaboration, this time with Dan Zazove, this remarkable book is everything it promised to be and more.  The organisation and layout is exceptional, while the detail is unmatched, making it an essential research tool, easily referenced and eminently readable.

The book sets out to chronicle the history and development of the Duofold through every type and variation (including the often ignored British pens), and covers the promotion and marketing which made the Duofold name.  The main sections are:

History
Duofold 1921-35
Design
Parker & Company
Marketing
England 1941-63
Late Duofold

Within these sections further breakdowns create a sensible order to the book.  There are literally hundreds of photographs of everything relating to the Duofold.
