Further Reading February 28, 2015

• Inkdependence reviewed Toucan Violet, a light purple with low saturation.
• FpQuest reviewed Montblanc Corn Poppy Red and received the Nexus pen from Kickstarter. I'm beginning to regret that I passed that one up.
• Pentulant reviewed Noodler's Hunter Green. I might have to buy a sample.

• The Pen Chalet is giving away three prizes for March, a Conklin Herringbone fountain pen, a Sheaffer 300 Ferrari Ballpoint gift set, and a Monteverde Artista fountain pen. Details are here.
• @randomthinks on Instagram is running a give-away to "kill winter with orange" for a chance to win a Lamy Al-Star, a Conklin All American, or a Rosetta Napoleon II. Scroll down in his posts to find one givi details on how to enter.

• Iguana Sell announced a Pelikan M805 demonstrator yesterday, which will come in two different versions: one completely clear and one with labels for each part engraved on the clear resin. 
• The Pelikan M200 Café Crème recently became available for purchase, and the M805 Stresemann is available for pre-order.

• Bexley's Phoenix pens are now available. I personally don't like the combination of a swirled resin cap with a demonstrator body; but someone might.
• Ebouya pens have begun to appear on the American market. Their pens are handcrafted like Nakaya's but at lower prices.
• There's now a white Visconti Pininfarina.
• The fire blue Kaweco Liliput is back in stock at JetPens and soon will be out of stock again.
• Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst is slated for release in the coming weeks.
