Here for auction we offer a RARE copy of A FEW WORDS ABOUT PIPES SMOKING & TOBACCO that was reprinted by the NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY in 1947.  After receiving a collection of tobacco products that was world class, the NYPL decided to begin the process of putting into print items from that collection that until then were either unpublished manuscripts or VERY little-known self-published ephemera of one kind or another.  This was the first foray into that endeavor.  500 copies were printed.  The condition of this particular copy is EXCELLENT as in LIKE NEW.  Some of the pages even remain UNCUT (see pictures!) That said, please feel free to contact me with questions and/or requests for more pictures, as I make every effort to respond promptly.  Also, feel free to make an offer, as we are entertaining any and all.  Buyer pays shipping as indicated above.
