George Blaisdell's lifetime-guaranteed lighter -- the Zippo -- has become an icon, instantly recognizable for its simplicity of design. Blaisdell designed the first Zippo in 1933; he sold just 82 units in the first month of business. But it was advertised as the windproof lighter & taken up by GIs in WW2, & grew to be one of the great advertising icons of the century. Now the more than 300 million lighters that have left the Zippo Manufacturing Co. in Bradford, PA, have become highly collectible. This book shows how the Zippo became an American Legend & tells the complete history of the lighter from its beginning to the present day. It discusses Zippo in entertainment, in advertising & in the movies, & provides essential advice & info. for collectors. Color photos.

Throughout the 1930s the Zippo Company in Pennsylvania prospered on the growing success of its stylish, charismatic little cigarette lighter. The lighter was made mostly of brass, but with the Second World War that metal was declared a ‘strategic material’ in the U.S. where huge amounts of it were needed for shell and cartridge casings. Zippo replaced the brass with steel, which can corrode, and wartime Zippos were given a new baked-on black ‘crackle’ finish to protect them. That non-reflective characteristic helped save the lives of many American soldiers in combat zones. The demand of the Armed Forces for the lighter led to the company to earmark its entire production for military. The big wartime market for the Zippo resulted in a rise of imitations. After the war, through subsequent conflicts in Korea, Vietnam and elsewhere, thousands of such phoneys appeared in boot sales and swap meets across the world. Movie stars added sophistication and glamor when someone lit up a cigarette with a Zippo and the distinctive ‘clink-clop’ sound the lighter made when opened and closed was unmatchable. Legend has it that the great star Bette Davis was once asked by an interviewer if she smoked after sex. Her supposed response: “To tell you the truth, I’ve never looked.” In later years- and a dark medical reality- the cigarette began losing its allure, but in wartime the soldier, sailor, marine and airman was frequently nervous in the service and found solace and a brief time-out-of-war in the relaxation of a quick smoke. Zippo was ready in such moments. Today many examples survive with a special history and caché. When Zippo Went to War is illustrated with more than 140 unpublished photos those unique little lighters of old. Like the remarkable Zippo itself, the book works well and sheds some new light on its subject.

现在国内同胞消费能力很高，据闻现在全球供应的奢侈品中，大约有三分之一由中国人买走，这真的很 惊人！回顾过去 10 年，很多内地同胞纷纷来香港购买名牌，而近几年甚至部分人会直接飞去欧洲国家买他 们的心头好，可见他们对名牌的热爱。 有见及此，我写此书及以插画的形式表现品牌的目的，是以轻松的手法让读者了解一些品牌的背景，以 及让他们更明白到品牌的营造是需时的。大家现在见到外国高端品牌那么成功，影响那么深远，要知道很多 都是经历数十甚至数百年才有今日的地位，而欧洲人对历史文物和艺术又是那么专重，所以品牌的孕育需时 间沉淀才能成为传奇。此外，除了介绍一些国内热门的国际品牌外，我也引入一些有实力有质量的品牌给大 家认识。读者更会发现这里所列举的并非单指服饰，还有个人嗜好如车、食品、酒、家具等，因“时尚”的 意思并非单指服装，还包括个人品位。上次的《时装有品》给读者认识时装概念，今次的《时尚有价》就让 大家认识品牌的背后故事！希望大家喜欢。 最后谢谢家人对我的支持，及插画团队成员 Alice、Filiz、Jack、Mario、mr. cardigan、Rachel、Roxanne、 Sam 及 Stella 的帮助才能成事！当然两位重量级人物 Ms. Gladys Perint Palmer 及吕越教授给我写序，让此书生 色不少！ Thank you so much ！
