Great StoresVancouver Pen 512 West Hastings St
Vancouver Pen, started by Margaret and Paul Leveque is a Vancouver landmark! It was back in 1947 that Paul Leveque started working for the Pen Shop in Vancouver. He later was a distributor of Parker, Sheaffer and Cross pens. Margaret, always involved with pens, started the Vancouver Pen Shop in 1986. Margaret passed away in August 2009, and Margot McRae now operates the store.
Good selection at Vancouver pen. You will never feel rushed when you are trying out different pens for weight, and then different nibs for smoothness of writing. What more can you ask. The staff know the choice of the right pen takes time. I have been shopping here for years and have always found the staff to go to all ends to help you out.
I get my Clairefontaine note books at Vancouver Pen, excellent paper. They also have good selection of inks -- including Private Reserve, Montblanc, Parker, and Waterman. They also carry Clairefontaine note books.
