La Couronne du Comte Discount Code!

I don’t know what there is not to like about La Couronne du Comte: the shop sells a huge selection of writing instruments, paper, inks, etc., the owner is extremely knowledgeable about pens, it’s a brick and mortar store…  And La Couronne du Comte sponsors my site.  Not only does that give me easier access to pens to review so that I can create more content, but we wanted you to actively share in the fun too – so if you want to buy anything from La Couronne du Comte (Montblanc excluded), use BROWN10 to get a 10% discount!
