Get the lead out
For all the writer/artist types out there, this might be a cool diversion.

Henry Petroski’s “The Pencil : A History Of Design And Circumstance” is an excellent source. I’m partial to Pelikan myself (made in Mother’s hometown), but would not refuse a genuine Thoreau pencil. And to remove the glamour, when using a pencil, you’re writing with mud. Really good mud, but mud nonetheless.
