Product details

  • Intimate and individual, pencil and paper are a personal touch in a digital age. The pencil is our direct connection between mind and page. We tell the story of an overlooked cultural icon with anecdotes, unexpected facts, and hand-drawn pencil-and-paper illustrations. This book features profiles of pencil crafters, anecdotes about famous writers and their favourite pencils, and essays about the surprising role of pencils in world history and culture
  • The Pencil Perfect explores the culture, heritage, manufacture, and meaning of the pencil. The humble instrument is now more relevant and romanticised than ever because it reconnects us with a simpler time. More and more of us are putting down the smartphone, and picking up a pencil
  • This small, every day object brings us back to the simple and the tangible
