Ian, well known for his work on the 'myth of the page turner' published a book in 2015 covering this subject. The full title of which is 'Reading & Writing Accessories, A Study of Paper-Knives, Paper Folders, Letter Openers and Mythical Page Turners.
After some bartering I bought Ian's book and from me he bought a desk seal and a very nice bronze paper knife.
Ian's book is published by Cadsonbury Publications, email cadsonbury@smithsbookshop.co.nz or a copy can be purchased from Amazon.
It was great to chat to Ian - I hope he made it to the London Pen Show!
