 The extreme guide for the lighter collector
By Spark International Lighter Club; Christian Wenger
More than 2o books in regards to collectible lighters have been published in the past years. Many are focalized to specific lighter manufacturers. Books with a wide content, covering numerous dissimilar distinct elements of lighter gathering are scarce and ofttimes incomplete. This book is different. It gives a new gatherer the optimal idea regarding collectible lighters of this century. Fantastic models are shown in splendid quality and there is not much missing. I am a European aggregator for a good deal of years and I will have to say this book covers the international lighter gathering rather perfectly. In addition it is both lowpriced and handy. Congratulation to the editors-

Great lighters, photographed beautifully.
By Paul Zisser
Well thought out demonstration of collectable lighters. Pictured items cover the gamut of beginner’s basics, to exceedingly rare pieces that most innovative gatherers will never own.
Certainly a “must have” for all lighter collectors, and an interesting historical perspective for non-collectors.
