Took a while but we were patient (ish) and finally found a copy. Gollum.
Wait what? This exists?
$99 paperback... noop. Ok the hunt is on for me too.

Nice cover art. One of the better art drawings of a tobacco pipe.
Check discount book shops. I've gotten a fair number of unused Easton Press leather bound classics for under $20.
I heard rumors if it’s existence for years but never encountered one for sale in the wild until … I did.
It’s a silly and expensive indulgence but what’s the point of not indulging our whims once in awhile?
I haunt used bookstores like a poltergeist and find some amazing treasures - which, honestly is as much fun as reading them sometimes - but this one has never appeared before. The Rocky Mountain West can be a tough place to find some things whereas other places seem to have more treasures - probably due to population and length of people living there. Especially antiques and such; makes sense if you think about possessions traveling by Conestoga wagons but … books from a few years ago? C’mon man, we read here too!
Still, I’m pleased with finding this one!
The illustrations are the same way, quite charming really.
Is it the same as this?

"My precious" always makes me think of this guy talking to his dog:
Basics, yes, just a first edition instead of the third edition. I’d have bought that one if I’d figured it out sooner but I’d still be hunting for a first because book collecting is a disease I tell you, a disease.Is it the same as this?

Marl Irwin is a pretty good writer, but $100 is pretty steep.
Interesting, but the reviews are not great. Disappointing. However a movie, would be a great idea!
There are few books I have been after since before 1986. That was not one of 'em. And I can blow smoke ring already.
You do realize you can order it from smoking pipes.com for $16 , new. They just shipped my copy today.
