The Evans Book: Lighters, Compacts, Perfumers & Handbags (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Rating:
Summary: decent guide to lighters
Review: I bought this book for the history of the Evans Manufacturing company, and it was a great read. However, I am a collector of Evans compacts, and this book gave that topic only a small amount of space and only covered late '40s and '50s compacts. There are tons from the late '20s and '30s that could have been featured here as well to make the book worthwhile to me. But the book covers lighters really well, and if I choose to start collecting those, I will study this book hard before I make any choices.

Summary: a collectors dream book
Review: this book is a definite for the collector of lighters. it is a book that all collectors of lighters should have. it is wonderful.
