This is a collectors' guide for collectors of tobacciana, dealing with lighters, early smoking wares, snuff boxes, cigar cases, cigarette boxes, vesta cases, ashtrays etc. The book is 8 1/4 by 6 inches, and contains 64 pages.

The fold-over part of the cover says,"From early pipes to Art Nouveau vesta cases and Zippo lighters, there is a wide range of affordable tobacco and smoking accessories available to collectors. However, with such a diversity of items on offer, where should the new enthusiast begin? This practical informative guide -- one of a series aimed primarily at the budding collector -- is designed to be an excellent introduction to this fascinating area."

I purchased this book in the early 2000s, thinking I would be selling ashtrays and lighters, but it turned out that I dealt in glassware instead. So this book has not been used and has been in my bookcase all that time, although I have peeked inside occasionally. (There are virtually no glass items shown in it -- mostly metal tobacco accessories.) The cover color is darker red than it looks in my photos.

This will ship by media mail in the USA. Shipping is included in the price.
