- "A complete guide to collecting antique pipes" is an illustrated guide and an historical account of the evolution and development of yesterday's pipe. It traces pipe styles, substances and genres, the craft and the craftsmen. Antique pipes of meerschaum, porcelain, clay, assorted woods and other substances were the expressions of people who created them for visual as well as nicotine pleasures. Some pipes were exotic and exquisite works of art, others were whimsical and fanciful. These and hundreds of others are illustrated in this book along with specimen pages of old catalogues and lithographs of pipes. Interlaced throughout, the reader will find occasional and amusing anecdotes about selected pipes, the noted carvers and heretofore little known information about this cottage industry. Many of the pipes illustrated in this book have never been seen before. Some come from museums, many from private collectors. " A complete guide to collecting antique pipes" is light and literate reading - there is evidence of extensive research and collaboration. The result of all this is a colorful, informative and educational tool for the collector, mature or would-be, the researcher, the tobacco historian, the ethnologist or anyone who loves art in any form for Ben Rapaport has convincingly proved that antique pipe is hight art.
