HisNibs.com update --Massive Chinese pen restocking
December 6th, 2013

Greetings all,

Here's the quick notice of the Chinese pen restocking I mentioned in the
last newsletter. There are far too many models to list here -- I'll mention
a few -- but just go to the home page http://www.hisnibs.com/ to see them
all.

We're continuing the free handmade Angel ornaments for website purchases
over $50.00, as they've been very popular, and we've added a new pattern:
Pen Nibs

To quote from the last newsletter: "As for the Angels, my angel Lai Yee, has
handmade ornaments to grace your Christmas tree, doorway or car's rearview
mirror. And as a holiday special, any website orders of $50.00 or more -- be
it pens, ink, pen rolls...anything -- will entitle you to an Angel ornament
http://www.hisnibs.com/angel_ornaments.htm for free (just let us know which
of the four patterns offered you'd like)."

As this newsletter goes out to a mailing list of thousands of customers,
please understand if there's a delay in answering your email queries or
orders after one of these is sent. We will respond in order received and as
soon as possible!

lively meeting place for news about pens, ink and handwriting.

Jinhao Pearl Windows



"Dear Norman, I received the Pearl Windows fountain pen. Yikes it lovely! It
writes like a dream. I'm using it for some extremely important healthful New
Year journaling/processing. With purple ink. Thanks also for your gracious
help in discerning the efficaciousness of my "hint" regarding this pen to my
husband! It worked out perfectly!"
V. S. P., Plymouth, MN

"Dear Norman, my beautiful Pearl Windows pen just arrived. When I ordered
it, I wasn't sure how it would measure up to the reigning favourite (my
Sapphire), but I was willing to give it a try. I was surprised at how
impressive and pleasingly hefty a pen it is. After I prepped it, I loaded
it up with ink and gave it a whirl. It glided gracefully across the page
like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers! When I'm not using it, I keep it out
just so I can admire it. It's definitely a keeper. The downside to my
purchase? It's whetted my appetite for at least one more of your pens!
Thanks for providing another lovely product!"
C. E., Toronto, Canada

"Hallo Norman, the windows shocked me -- it is very heavy (which I love),
very wide and with a firm and steady writing. I am very happy with it and
left all my other pens aside for the time being -- I am impressed.
If I knew i would have purchased the window panel too, guess i will very
soon anyway. Thank you!"
F. G., Switzerland

Crocodile Crystal Outré



"Well this blows my mind! I had one of the original MB pens exactly like
this (minus the top "ruby") and liked the pen but not the filling mechanism.
So now I have the same precious resin :) pen and a sensible filling
system!...One thing I do like is that the "ruby" isn't deep red. It
actually looks more like a padparadscha sapphire, which I like better!...
I'm amazed at the careful workmanship on this, thanks!"
K. S., Omaha, NE

"Norman, I just received this beautiful pen and wanted to say it is
absolutely beautiful and "writes like a dream." I take a lot of notes and it
is just perfect in size and weight for notes -- just works like a charm. It
works so well, that I'd like to place an order for another one. I especially
enjoy your personalized notes and as always, than you so much for all your
help!!!"
S. R., Mount Olive, NC

"Hi Norm - I've never opted to comment on one of your specials, but this
Outré by Crocodile is truly a gem. Being a lefthander, it writes better than
my Mont Blanc and is smoother and slicker!"
B. O. B., Nutley, NJ

"Hi Norman. I never did get a chance to write you when my Outré came in, but
it is such a wonderful pen. Writes amazingly well and is attractive and
pleasing to the eye. Thanks for another great pen! Looking forward to my
next purchase!"
C. E., Toronto, Canada

Angel ornaments by Lai Yee



Collect one, collect all four -- or receive one free with your website order
of $50.00 or more.

Just in time for the holidays and Christmas, Lai Yee has created these fun
Angel ornaments, designed to hang from your tree, fireplace mantel or
doorway (maybe even your car's rearview mirror ).

Handmade and sewn with the same material that she uses for her pen rolls
http://www.hisnibs.com/pen_rolls.htm, they measure approximately 6-1/2" high
(not counting the ribbon) and 5-1/4" wing tip to wing tip! They're stuffed
with polyester-fill and love.

They also make great handmade gifts to give to those you're visiting or
sending off presents to this holiday season, at a price that won't break the
bank.

Pen storage



Always difficult to keep in stock, these 12-pen wallets and 48-pen cases are
available in black and brown.

Hero Victorian



"Hi Norman, Just wanted to let you know that the Hero Victorian arrived this
afternoon and I have been using it quite happily for several hours. The nib
is nice and smooth. I primed the converter with a little water with dish
detergent, just to make sure there would be no sticking of ink to the sides.
Don't know if the converter needed it, but I did it anyway as a
preventative. (I wish I had as much luck getting my more expensive pens
going.) All together a nice pen and a good writer."
M. L., Jamaica Plain, MA

"I just received the Hero Victorian, and was surprised at how lightweight it
felt, considering its all metal construction. It writes beautifully, and is
very comfortable to hold."
E. A., Springfield, IL

"Received the order of the Hero Victorian and the Private Reserve Black
Velvet. My only regret is that I did not order two Victorians. The pen
compares quite favorably with those costing three times as much, the
Waterman Charleston for instance, and the near extra-fine nib is quite
delightful for a modified Copperplate script style. The heft of the pen is
remarkable for its size and fits my stubby fingers quite nicely. The flow of
the Private Reserve black Velvet is superb, having Calligraphy ink quality.
I am very satisfied with the order and hope to make further purchases."
J. C., Columbia, S.C.

Duke Ruby



"Hi Norm. Received my Duke Ruby pen on Mon. but only now have the time to
thank you. It's a very smooth writer and quite elegant with the filigree on
the cap and barrel, the Duke inscription, and the small but attractive cap
jewel. I am also impressed by the velvet box it comes in. Fantastic!"
K. G., Columbus, OH

"Hi Norman. I have to say again how much I love your wonderful site. Thanks
to you, I'm now a Chinese pen junkie! I ADORE my Duke Ruby, by the way. It
is so slime and elegant and writes so smoothly. Like nothing else in my
collection."
M. B., Hattiesburg, MS
