MB 2013 Writers Edition

Anyone know the name of the author that was selected for the Montblanc 2013 Writers Edition pen?

Picked mine up at Dromgoole's in Houston last Saturday. Very nice; weighty, but well-balanced and the box it comes in is freakin' amazing.

Best,
Skip

The 'box" - the front of it actually features the first few pages of de Balzac's writings. The second photo shows the center of the book and the cut-out that contains the pen.

The packaging is a departure from all of the other Writers' Series pens; I have all of the pen in the series and, while all of them came packaged in a box that resembles a book, this one is much more reminiscent of an actual book that has been hollowed out to accommodate the pen. IMO, a very nice touch!

Best,
Skip

Thanks, Skip.
I also have many of the pens from the MB Writers series and all have the same size box.
Looking forward to adding the Balzac fountain pen to my collection.

Very nice Montblanc pen. I love the packaging. Did you get the fountain pen? How does it write?
