There is a reason why I consistently advise people to avoid Franks book, and to buy the Marshall/Oldfield book. The former is out of date and suggests techniques that are or can be harmful to pens. I could write a whole article discussing what I have issues with and why. It might even be a series of articles.....
This would actually be very valuable is you ever get the time Ron. There are a lot of people still relying on Frank's book and still a few people selling it like it's gospel. It would make a good Pennant article, although some might think of it as sacrilegious due to Frank's memory in the hobby. But it sounds like it's needed.
