5.0 out of 5 stars
Not only for lighter collectors,
By Spark International Lighter Club; Christian W... (Olten, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legend of the Lighter (Hardcover)
Ad's book includes phantastic photography and an interesting concept regarding matching the things. The focus is not the jewel stuff one can always find in such books. It is the reflection of pure fascination of lighters, their history, function and the thrill of fire making history. Most important is the fact that the book adresses to the NON-collector as well as to the collector but more to the former. People that do not know anything about the subject will be fascinated by it. Although I am a collector I always read it again and again.

This books shows you the lighters and gives a history of the lighter company. Many lighters. It doesn't give values of lighters, but its practically an encyclopedia on lighters..

Fantastic Photography,
By Dr. G. "Dr. G." (South Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legend of the Lighter (Hardcover)
The bandwith of this book is impressive. The photos are better than the narrative, but this book contains some interesting surprises.
