This review is from: Zippo Companion (Hardcover)
This is a nice little book that gives a basic history of Zippo lighters and some great pictures and info. I would have prefered more on older Zippos, their value and what to look for but it is still a good reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zippo Collecting, March 8, 2007
This review is from: Zippo Companion (Hardcover)
This book is excellent for the true collector who has been at it for a while. It list some old more wanted pieces along with some more recent pieces. I would not reccomend for a new Zippo collector though.
