William “Bill” Walker is Assistant Keeper. He’s younger, has small children at home, and doesn’t seem to be ‘in love’ with his wife, Jenny. Jenny is emotionally needy but also supportive of her husband. After twenty years, Jenny thinks that Bill may still come home. There was something I really enjoyed in this book, however. For a debut novel, it was oozing with atmosphere and relevant details of life as a lighthouse keeper. Although no one actually knows what happened, through the interviews with the women and some literary licence, Dan poses the story of what might have occurred. What Dan learns raises a whole lot of new questions. It wasn’t all sweet with the families, there were rivalries and jealousies and misunderstandings. On the part of the men, subjected to long periods of isolation there were also issues.
In this manual you will find tips for collecting Zippos, design and production process, French military and US Navy models and much more. Great extension of the Zippo manual series.

The book includes most Ronson lighters ever made plus a deep insight in to the history of Art Metal Works (Ronson). A great collector’s guide for Ronson collectors from the most knowledgeable specialist Urban K. Cummings.

What really got on my nerves in the first half, however, was the constant – or really very frequent – hinting at dark secrets that would only be revealed in the second half of the book. It became stale very fast to be told by each of the characters that something happened in the past. Character oriented, this is an atmospheric undertaking, a slow, quiet mystery. For me it was an immersive read. A real story of missing keepers from the 1900s in Scotland from the Flannan Island lighthouse was the impetus for this story. This is a marvelous book with great illustrations and information about rare and sometimes bizarre tobacco accoutrements such as lighters. This was much more engaging, and this must be down to the narrator. She did the accents superbly and the personalities shone through. I felt the supernatural elements of the story didn’t fit as well as they could. One main event Sid coming to repair the boiler was left totally unexplained, why the high voice? I thought Sid was going to turn out to be Jenny in disguise, I was left wondering if Sid was meant to be the men’s conscience?
Sharks are] cool torpedoes of blubber, sliced at the gills, equipped with teeth. Fat and teeth, that’s the thing. Needles in a bowl of curd.’ Part of the problem in my humble opinion is that it tries to be a bit of everything. A lot of the writing is truly beautiful the descriptions of the sea, are incredibly emotive. I also found the insights into the lives of the men, captivating and interesting. Unfortunately, part of what made this so wonderfully descriptive is also its downfall. I personally found there was just too many words, far more than were necessary. I’m sure others will love this book but for me it was a little disappointing. What I found unique about this book is that it not only talks about healing yourself, but how to improve the world too with structural compassion. He writes that one of the best things you can do to better the world is to simply heal yourself. I thought that was a lovely reminder to stay committed to your healing journey and not get too overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done to make the world a better place. Your immediate reaction does not tell you who you are. It is how you decide to respond after the reaction that gives you real insight into how much you have grown. Your first reaction is your past. Your intentional response is your present.” A comprehensive guide to the history and the products of the Evans Case Company. The book includes most Evans’ lighter models, most other products as well as old advertising and patents.

As a result of years of research and study this book provides an extensive overview of the history and role of petrol lighters within the overall Alfred Dunhill product line, details of the production and commercial strategy used by the company and a comprehensive photographic catalogue of Dunhill petrol lighters. A splendid handbook about the history of fire-making and modern lighters. Written by Rita Bucheit from the owner family of IMCO in Austria. German reading skills required. Amazing book with lot of great photography, history, value trends, trading, price guide, advertising, lighter clubs and other info.
A catalogue of exhibits from the Stadtmuseum Weimar by Hasso Heydenreich dated June 1979.Similar content to Bryant and May but not anything like as comprehensive. Wood’s second book has a lot more pictures of much higher quality. We find this book quite interesting for collectors with a specific interest in figural lighters. This book gives the history of Zippo, dating, companies, military, sports, boxes. It is what is says: field guide, one to keep with you at all times. A must for every Zippo collector. There is no shortage of people who you will find physically beautiful but finding someone who matches the maturity you are looking, for the dedication to grow, the humour that brings you comfort and who feels just right in your arms and life is incredibly unique.”
