Before "smoking" was a dirty word

This book is a coffee table photo collection of the art, advertising and paraphernalia of tobacco in the early part of this century. From celebrity endorsements to electrical trick lighters to objects that literally shudder with political incorrectness, this book gives us a visual history of both tobacco and our national culture during the period. The book simultaneously enlightening and beautiful.
