Franco Coppo, the head of Castello has authored a book. It is in Italian and English It has been available through Italian dealers for a few months at €50 plus shipping. Smoking Pipes copies arrived and were put on the site today. Do a search “Castello Book.”

Price is $65, spend another $30 and everything ships free.

A friend who ordered a copy from Italy is very pleased with his.

I have the ltd edition anniversary(?) book so this new Castello book was a must have. I ordered a signed copy from Luca Corti on the day it was listed. It’s technically a Christmas gift from mrslax but after a quick scan I didn’t read anything new and it seems to have kind of a clunky, Google like translation.

I’ll probably read it cover to cover over the holidays. The book itself is beautiful with a two tone cover and seem well constructed in a modern sense but it lacks a dust jacket and slip cover at the price point.?

Sounds like a printed version of "Father the Flame". Not my thing but it'll have a wide audience.
