Hutchinson, 1961, Hardcover (Original Cloth), Book Condition: Fair, Dust Jacket Condition: No, First
Throughout his life three interests have been all-absorbing to Edward Pinto: history, wood and craftsmanship but he was also brought up in an atmosphere of tobacco, for his father was a cigar importer, as was his father before him. With this background and an ever-increasing interest in wood, wood craftsmanship and social history, from boyhood onwards, it was more or less inevitable that one day he should write a book about the wooden bygones of tobacco.

Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Gilt titles spine. Bumping & wear to corners. red cloth; grey end-papers; illustrated by b/w. photo's.. Includes short bibliography & index. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Antiques & Collectibles; Smoking Artifacts; Treen; Snuff Taking Artifacts; Antiques & Collectibles. Inventory No: 3437.
