Description
Each of these three books presents a fascinating history of the art and design of a particular object, detailing, with hundreds of painstakingly-collected examples and informative texts, the multitude of varieties of pencils, cutlery, and bookmarks. These books will appeal to those who value both the beauty and functionality of everyday objects, simple tools that are made with astonishing precision and care.

Short texts by master compiler Marco Ferreri describing the background of each type and style are included, as well as an introductory essay that examines the evolution and historical significance of these marvels of design.
