I better get mine tomorrow. It will be a perfect companion for the Wahl Bantam and Moore FP that are supposed to show up.

Mine arrived today. I enjoyed the very well organized article about Wahl Equi-Poised pens by David.

 

I'm also miffed about never being invited into the Black Pen Society. :P

No joy today. The agonizing wait continues.

FWIW, Jon, I'm still waiting as well.  I could have read the thing last week at the Commonwealth Pen Show, but I opted to defer the pleasure until I got my own copy.  Rather than agonizing, my feeling is primarily curiosity at this point whether my PayPal payment was taken notice of.  :)  OTOH, I also know the USPS too well to think there is anything unusual about a variance of several weeks in transit time of media mail.  So the patient wait continues here...

I know. Just messin wit cha. That, and I really wanted to get in that bit about wondering whether my payment was noticed in the first place, which remains uncertain here but at the same time of no particular concern.

Jon,

 

I'd like to tell you that I have my copy but I don't, I got your copy.  Just so I didn't ruin it for you I will not and can not read it-I shredded it to avoid the temptation.  I'll send it your way with a roll of tape.

Todd

Looks like they are hitting Northern California today.  In celebration, I'm putting the plastic sleeve the magazine came in on eBay.  I predict they will quicly become collector material.

Got mine today!

 

I bought Farmboy's plastic sleeve in case mine ever gets damaged, now I have a backup. When it gets here I will put it in an acid free plastic sleeve.

I bet Jerry Garcia is weeping, seeing NoCal going acid-free...
