Pencils You Should Know traces the evolution of pencils over time and across the globe

From the humble, handcrafted pencil of the 19th century to the novelty writing implement of the 1990s, each object in this book tells a different story.

This book features a selection of 75 modern and vintage pencils curated by pencil powerhouse Caroline Weaver, owner of legendary New York pencil emporium CW Pencil Enterprise. Pencil fanatics will find old favorites here - the original Blackwing 602 puts in an appearance, of course - and make exciting new discoveries, too.

The long, skinny book was designed to emulate a brand new box of pencils. Vintage pencils and accessories are photographed against vibrant, colorful backgrounds and accompanied by Weaver's insightful commentary. A pocket-sized love letter to one of the most important inventions in human history

This supremely charming little book celebrates the enduring magic of the pencil.

Trace the history of the pencil over time and across the globe, and discover everything you need to know about this simple yet ingenious invention.

A great book for pencil collectors, admirers, historians, artists, writers-anyone who gets excited about the new Palomino Blackwing, a perfectly sharpened No. 2 Ticonderoga. This little book is the perfect gift for pencil devotees, analog and vintage ephemera lovers, designers, and fans of CW Pencil Enterprise.

As far as punk rock inspired shirts go this one is
Color: Off White&black, Size: XX-Large
The shirt looks nice but the material isn't what it looks like in the picture. It's actually kind of thick, almost like a weaved cotton pattern, if that makes sense. I got it during a heatwave, couldn't wear it. But if you're looking for a decent fall weather t-shirt, well worth the grab.

Go up a size
Color: Off White&burgundy, Size: X-Large
Material feels great but sizes are not accurate. If you’re a XL, go up a size.
