Summarized by Shop
In 1947, Jackie Robinson was called up to the Major Leagues by the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the color barrier and providing much needed momentum to the desegregation movement that extended well beyond baseball.
The Blackwing Volume 42 is a tribute to Jackie Robinson and those who pursue their passions, creative or otherwise, regardless

Nice pencils
I found out about Blackwing Pencils from reading Mary Norris's "Confessions of a Comma Queen." As a copy editor at The New Yorker magazine, she was so enthralled with them that I had to have some. I didn't even use pencils much. Now I do.

Can't buy enough of this pencil, favorite note-taking and long-form writing pencil from the entire terrific Blackwing collection. I grab a box at every opportunity.

Raving about these pencils
I LOVE these pencils. I only wish they had the glow in the dark ones back in stock. Also, frankly, I wish I could order a short version of these pencils to put in the church pews for writing (those "bad church pencils" are really bad when you compare them to these pencils. If you write with a pencil, you need to use Blackwing pencils--there's no going back!
