Pipe books?

[tzilt]

After reading this thread (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=155506) I decided I needed to stimulate Amazon.com's bottom line with a little slice of my Uncle Sam bonus money...but before I do...

What other pipe books/tobacco books are out there worth reading? Typing in 'tobacco pipe' on amazon's search yields 16,274 books...I'd love to own them all but alas, apparently the government only wants me to stimulate the economy a little bit. So, any recommendations?

Alfred Dunhills "The Pipe Book" is a pretty good one.I have another by Georges Herment called "The pipe" that is also pretty good. The latter is more of a historical look at pipes and smoking. There are several others that come to mind, such as Webers guide to pipes and pipe smoking and Peter Stokkebys " Life and good times of a tobacco man". I have heard the Stokkeby book is really good,but have not read it myself.

Slow triathalete posted a thread about the Stokkeby book in this same sub forum a few threads down.

sorry I didn't get a chance to post this before you ordered, but though Amazon is cheaper, you have a chance of speaking to Rick if you order from:

Not just about pipes, but I love this book...

It's poems, humor, stories about tobacco in general, published in 1948
