Details about The Pipe Book:

The legendary tobacconist catalogs his extensive pipe collection, sharing the history and variety of pipe smoking available through the early twentieth century. As a successful London tobacconist in the early 1900s, Alfred Dunhill had a passion for his field that led him to begin collecting pipes from all over the world. After cataloging his collection, he created The Pipe Book, which was first printed in 1924 and has rarely been out of print since. The book is a thorough exploration of every type of pipe, with in-depth explorations of their uses, structures, and origins, as well as fascinating anthropological discussions that span the entire world and hundreds of years. Included is everything from primitive makeshift, mound, and earthen pipes through models of ivory, clay, and porcelain to the modern briars, cobs, and meerschaums, with analyses of the significance of smoking in different cultures. The Pipe Book offers an exhaustive coverage of the history and variety of pipe smoking available through the early twentieth century, written with authority of a name known to every pipe smoker. “You do not need to be a smoker of pipes, or of tobacco in any form, to enjoy this—book. If you like to be entertained and instructed by unique information, you will find it a fascinating volume.” —New York Times
