The Chronicle of the Fountain Pen: Stories Within a Story is a beautiful survey of pen history, in which the authors attempt to integrate the stories of individual pen manufacturers into a more integrated chronological narrative – though it by no means stints on illustrations of fabulous pens.
A long-time favorite is the handsome Une affaire de stylos by Pierre Haury and Jean-Pierre Lacroux – available in English as A Passion for Pens (the Italian edition is La seduzione delle stilo). Lots of beautiful photos, a great range of pens and accessories, plus an excellent section on filling mechanisms. Even now, French and French-market pens tend to be neglected, but this volume does much to fill in the picture.
Giorgio Dragoni and Giuseppe Fichera's Fountain Pens: History and Design is well-produced with some nice illustrations, especially of Italian pens not often seen, but the text is riddled with errors and the attribution of some pens is entirely mistaken.
Regina Martini's Pens and Pencils: A Collector's Handbook has many illustrations of secondary brands, especially German and British (the book was originally written in German, and the translation is at times a bit awkward).
