Book Author Ben Rapaport on Radio Show of December 17, 2024

[admin]

Our featured interview on tonight’s show is with Ben Rapaport. Ben has been known internationally as an avid pipe smoker, antique pipe collector, and book author. His first book on pipes was published in 1972, and his latest book – his 10th – is out now in very limited quantities. The distribution has already sold out, but you can still get a copy of “The Wide World of Wood Tobacco Pipes. Two Centuries of Craftsmanship and Creativity” by contacting him directly at ben70gray@gmail.com. At the top of the show we’ll be turning the tables on our recurring Ask the Pipemaker segment. This time, Jeff Gracik will ask the questions, which Brian will answer as a pipe collector, and you can give your answers too.

The show airs every Tuesday at 8:00pm eastern US time, and can be found at PipesMagazine.com and all podcast apps.

What a fun interview, and I'm going to have to look into some of his books, if I can find them. It is definitely well researched and I will get my dictionary out.

This should be great, it's important to have scholars writing about pipes

I have a copy of his "Collecting Antique Meerschaum Pipes," and it's a great book. I look forward to listening to this interview.
