The Pleasure of Writing Pebble Beach Noir by MontegrappaWhile touring Montegrappa headquarters in Bassano del Grappa, Italy, The Pleasure of Writing had the opportunity to view the stores of raw pencrafting materials; rods of unturned Montegrappite and unfinished metals, including the last available stock of its zebra celluloid.

While touring Montegrappa headquarters in Bassano del Grappa, Italy, The Pleasure of Writing had the opportunity to view the stores of raw pencrafting materials; rods of unturned Montegrappite and unfinished metals, including the last available stock of its “zebra” celluloid.

With its usage as the basis for old film stock, celluloid is literally the stuff that dreams are made of. Anyone who knows old film stock, though, knows that over time the material degrades to the point of volatility — several Hollywood studios burnt down after canisters of film reels spontaneously burst into flames.

When we learned that Montegrappa perfected a process that eliminated that volatility entirely, resulting in this gorgeous Montegrappite, we knew it was something special.

We had to have it. And in celebrating the origins of the material that gives it such a unique feel in the hand, steeped in the classics of Hollywood, we collaborated to create the Pebble Beach Noir (in keeping with the tropes of the genre this one included a case of mistaken identity, much like the damsel in distress who instead turns out to be the femme fatale*).

Featuring an 18k gold nib and gold vermeil trim, the Pebble Beach Noir is meticulously crafted from the very last available supply of this lavishly patterned, banded celluloid and modeled after the classic 1920s Venetia silhouette, creating a luxuriant writing instrument of deeply satisfying dimension. Though each one is individually numbered out of 100, only 50 of these spectacular writing instruments were produced, further adding to its mysterious allure.

*NB — The Pebble Beach Noir was first launched as the Ortocera. This is the same pen. We just found new evidence in the case.

All around helpful---worth the money!
Format: Paperback
This guide has been most helpful for all the folks I help prepare for the iTEP test! It gives insight into what each section of the test is looking for along with examples and great tips about actually TAKING the test. In the Writing and Speaking sections, it also gives sample scores and comments from the Master Grader which is very helpful too.

Comprehensive, clear and coherent!
Format: Paperback
The iTEP Practice Guide combines a no-nonsense approach to the specific iTEP tests and at the same time offers exercises that task the student with what they need to know. Exercises not only serve the purpose of scoring well, but the overall approach is communicative competence. We use the text in our group and one-to-one classes with very positive--and lasting--results.

No recomiendo
Format: Paperback
Muy malo, no vine completo, además se demoró mucho más de lo que decía al momento de comprarlo. Solo aplazaban la fecha de entrega sin consultar cómo afectaba al cliente. Yo tuve que presentar el examen sin el libro, porque no llegó en la fecha que decía al comprarlo y después se cambió 3 veces la fecha, casi cumpliendo el mes.
