Pipes Artisans and Trademarks
This is, without question, the finest, most
comprehensive, most beautiful book on
pipes ever published. Epic in its scope
(and dimensions!),it serves primarily as
an index of pipe makers.
though it also includes historical and background notes on pipes and pipe smoking. The book itself is spectacular, featuring many hundreds of photographs of pipes and pipe makers rendered beautifully on heavy, glossy paper.
This is a must for any serious fan of pipes and pipe makers. This is the book against which all future pipe books will be compared.
Afirma el autor ser un gran honor la inclusión de dos nuevos textos introductorios, además del prefacio de Vicens Lozano (Barcelona Pipa Club) ya en la edición portuguesa. Estos nuevos textos son de dos norte americanos : Ben Rapaport, gran autoridad mundial en bibliografía de pipas y autor de variados libros de pipas antiguas y Gregory L. Pease, un estudioso de pipas de brezo y un de los mezcladores mas prestigiados de los Estados Unidos.
