About the Author (from the back cover):

After an initiation into the luxury industry, Christophe Larquemin foundedVelvet in 2001 to concentrate on fine writing instruments. His commitment toproviding the highest quality of service ensured his rapid success, and he nowtravels all over the world, untiringly, to ferret out the rarest pens for hisever-more-discerning Collectors. It was during one of these journeys that hewas enthralled by the art of Japanese lacquer masters employed by Namiki. Thisenccounter changed his life and his aoffering passion gradually turned him intoan expert of international standing. CL\'s love of Namiki pens goes well beyonda commercial interest: he sees in them the embodiment of respect for thecrafsmanship and traditions he cherishes. More than luxury objects, they areworks of art, endowed with the mark of magic and history. It is thereforenatural that CL should have decided to dedicate a book to these masterpieces,inviting us by the same token to visit a dream-like, truly all over the world for us the shipping is an important issue.

FedEx requires a telephone number (landline or mobile) on the shipping label.
