About this deal
This is the most wonderful book about the history and fascination of fire-making and lighters. It contains fantastic photographs and great stories. One of few books equally attractive to collectors and non-collectors.
Museum catalog of a German touring exhibition about the history of fire-making. Excellent book for collectors of early firemaking devices such as Doebereiner hydrogen-lamps etc. German reading skills required. The characters here are so well drawn, the reader develops an emotional connection with them early on so right from the first chapter you are absolutely hooked in to this narrative. In 1900 three lighthouse keepers disappeared from the Eilean Mor lighthouse in the Outer Hebrides. They were never found and there has been no explanation for their vanishing. In a well constructed novel, Emma Stonex reimagines this event by transposing the time to 1972 and the location to the rugged coast of Cornwall.The result is a multi layered novel that fuses atmosphere and mystery with personal and societal psychology. I mean, honestly! I’m sure you’d prefer that, but I’m afraid it’s all ridiculous. We’re not in your world now, we’re in mine; and this isn’t a thriller, it’s my life.”This was quite a heavy book to read given a few of the circumstances that I've been healing from but necessary. To learn of yung pueblo’s beginnings in this intimate book is a gift. Lighter helps us understand the daily ways in which his deepening practice has impacted an entire generation of seekers.

The encyclopedia for Zippo collectors. The book contains excellent historical information and a vast collection of lighter-pictures and illustrations.
A great book about striker lighters showing a magnificent collection. High quality photographs of strike lighters in gold, silver and enamel. A treat for the eyes. 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. I found many of the directives to be repetitive, and whilst I understand that is what some people desire to learn, I found that I was just reading the same passage of words in various iterations.

yung pueblo's path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his body and soul. Searching for a way forward, he discovered that by facing his anxieties and fears, trusting his intuition and focusing on meditation he felt mentally lighter and finally at home in his heart and mind.

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. Ultimately, to become 'lighter', we need to practice long-term self-awareness and self-reflection by examining our inner narratives and how our own thinking effects our emotions. yung pueblo offers insight into daily practices and choices that can remove the burdens of habitual reaction to reveal the freedom of wise reflection. In Lighter, we see that knowing the mind can transform a person, and also transform society.” —David Simas, CEO of the Obama Foundation

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. I also find it unrealistic in a story that everyone is unhappy, unfaithful, loves another, doesn’t love the one they’re with, loves the one they’re with but they love another, grieving for a loved one… literally everyone was unhappy. Also the culmination saw three people considering murder at the same time, is that likely? I also felt the end, not only with its supernatural element seemed unlikely, surely they would have hit the base of the lighthouse rather than the sea? It was also unrealistic that blood and a struggle could have been totally cleaned up, forensics would have found evidence. How sad the only planted evidence they found pointed to the innocent person. The wives who should’ve have bonded together over this incident are estranged and only one is talking.
