This article focuses on the book "The Pipe Book," by Alfred Dunhill. Dunhill, himself a famous maker of new pipes and collector of old ones, had then a rich field before him when he set out to write "The Pipe Book." The result of his labor is a body of most fascinating information conveyed with great clarity and illustrated with plates which in many cases must make an appreciative mouth water. Here and there he has stopped to sketch the history of the pipe as it forced its way around the world. In the main, he has sought to assemble its infinite varieties and explain or describe them.
