I love buying books.

Especially when I find an oldie but goodie, a hard-cover version of the out of print; The Book of Pipes & Tobacco by Carl Ehwa.
Can't wait till it arrives!

awesome, collin! what does the book cover? I might try to pick a used copy on b&n if it's a good read. Nice out of prints are tough to find.

This is a fine addition to any piper's library....Congratulations!....

Funny, I can't find any pipe books at the 3 libraries I frequent.

 

[collin]

They still have those???

 

[hobie1dog]

I've been hitting the Library really hard the last two years...about 60 so odd books so far. :wink:

Cool,....I found this place:

Bookfinder is good. My living room looks like a library mated with a pipe factory!

I read more than the average bear... I usually read one to two novels a week! It got too expensive buying the books, so I started going to the library more often but it took too long to get books that just came out and then there would be a line for the book. I bought a Kindle and have never looked back, I actually still go to the library and get book that are expensive on the kindle.

Funny how everyones taste in books is....I cannot bring myself to read any novels(read two in the last 34 years), I've got to read non-fiction, just the way I'm built. My wife reads nothing but romance novels...I think I'll get her the paperback book collections of Penthouse Letters. 8O

I was recently given a gift card for Barnes and Noble. You just inspired me with an idea of how best to use it. Let the hunt begin!

 

[ulsterpaddy]

has anyone read "The Man in the Grey Velvet Suit"? after watching Mad Men i've heard their writers read it for research and refrences ect.

 

[ulsterpaddy]

By velvet suit I meant flannel sorry. Anywho bought it today...

 

[strongirish]

There are many good old pipe books out there, you just have to look for them. Librarys are not carrying tobacco related books anymore.

 

[onizuka]

I buy a lot of my books used on Half.com, haven't looked for tobacco or pipe related books yet though.
I did acquire some nice 1st edition hard cover books though:
