Product Description
Here is a thorough exploration of every type of pipe, with in-depth explanations of their origins, structures, and uses, as well as fascinating anthropological discussions that span the entire world and hundreds of years. Included are 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, from the ancient Mayans to twentieth-century Europeans and everything in between. The Pipe Book offers the most exhaustive coverage of the history and variety of pipe smoking in print, written with the authority of a name known to every pipe smoker; it is the perfect gift for any pipe enthusiast, and an absolute necessity for pipe collectors.

 Totally out of date and of historic interest only December 18, 2008
One of the very few books that I read and gave away. Why? This book is purely historic and does not even touch on the contemporary aspect of pipes.
Facts about pipe smoking from a ancient times would be of interest to historians.
Not a book that I recommend.
 Interesting Read August 13, 2006

This book has lot of informative history of tobacco and tobacco smoking. The stories incouded were not only interesting but also full of intrigue. It includes a description of different pipes and their uses. I very much enjoyed learning about the humble beginnings of the Dunhill family. It does make a wonderful coffee table book. VERY WELL PLEASED!!
 More of a reference guide to pipes throughout history... January 31, 2002

While this book is filled with fascinating drawings of strange and unusual pipes from around the world, it is certainly not one of those "just sit down and read it from cover to cover type books." Think more of an "a to z" dictionary of pipes. As a novice pipe smoker, I was hoping for something more informative on the actual mechanics of pipe smoking. I would highly recommend The Perfect Pipe by Jeffers or, if you can find a copy, Weber's guide to pipes and pipe smoking.
