Linda Meabon, Zippo historian, compiled the 128-page book with the foreword by 
Zippo owner George Duke, grandson of Zippo founder George Blaisdell and more than
200 photos culled from the scrapbooks and photo files of the Zippo archives.

The book displays many rare corporate and Blaisdell family photos,

most of which have never been published. 
The companion lighter reproduces the cover of the book and a custom sleeve 
displays both pieces. The set includes a certificate of authenticity,
a two-piece lighter box, and a handsome see-through display box.
