Ayer me enteré en la web de la O.S. que Peter Holland ha fallecido el pasado mes de Diciembre...
Peter Holland, the well-known German collector tragically passed away on December 31st 2023. Peter was just 68 years old and was the respected foremost expert on the slide rules of German maker: A.W. Faber-Castell. In 2009 he published the 1st edition of his ground-breaking book on all the types, models and scales of this German maker. The book’s popularity was so great it would be reissued 7 times before becoming a digital book in 2020 - so far being downloaded over 2300 times. It is the most popular slide rule related book ever published. Peter was an active and social member of the slide rule community. With his partner Gerti he was a regular at the annual International Meetings in Europe/USA and the meetings held by the German and Swiss Collector Groups. He was a Fellow of the OS and published 6 articles in the JOS. In 2010 he was the OS Award winner. Alongside slide rules, Peter had a real talent and passion for photography. He was also an enthusiastic cyclist – each year he would meticulously follow every stage of the Tour de France. The slide rule community has lost an eloquent presenter and a knowledgeable expert. I have also lost a close personal friend – David Rance.
Descanse en paz
