== Introduction ==
This is a work in progress, and always will be--there exist so many tobacco related books and publications throughout the history of tobacco, with more being written all the time.
Renown author and avid collector, '''Ben Rapaport''' has over 3000 tobacco related volumes in his personal collection, and has created what is likely the most comprehensive list of tobacco related books and publications in English. It is organized by topic, although many entries cover a range of tobacco related topics.  He started this list in 1987, and has been updating it as new works come to his attention. Over time we hope to integrate Ben's extensive list into this article, meanwhile the list from the Fall of 2016 is available here in PDF format: [https://pipedia.org/images/d/de/Rapaport_Reading_List.pdf A Reading List for the Pipe Smoker and Pipe Collector].
''Ben Rapaport also offers select titles through his '''Antiquarian Tobacciana''' newsletter, and can be reached at mailto:ben70gray@gmail.com''

'''Editor's note''': I regret that I was not aware of the Ephemeris, or The Universal Coterie of Pipe Smokers until recently. I just bought my first and only copy of the Ephemeris (the last issue, Winter - Spring, 2005) from [http://www.pipestyle.com/dunn1.htm Hermit Tobacco] at the MAPS show in Milwaukee. I hope to buy more editions on the used market as I can find and afford them. The last issue has 116 pages of excellent reading. I'm very envious of long time Coterians, especially those who knew Tom personally, or enjoyed regular correspondence with him.

Edited by OoOPS member Joel Farr, this publication was less flashy than some of the others. However, it was full of useful information for smokers and collectors, with articles written by well-known pipe collectors and retailers. Detailed articles about pipe brands appeared in every issue. So did no-holds-barred discussions of pipe smoking/collecting issues. Sometimes, this produced controversy, but PF made up in guts what it may have lacked in glitz.

Number ninety-six of the five-hundred subjects, a pipe entrepreneur named Joseph Nicholas Ebb found smoking five chambers a day, manifested an increased love for cheese. One other bizarre side effect was that of increased sexual deviance.
