Camel Cigarette Collectibles by Douglas Congdon-Martin (1996, Paperback)

This softbound book printed on slick paper with pictures are of excellent quality color and composure. This is a book, you might say, is for the advanced Collector of camel cigarette items. The book starts with the inception of Camel cigarettes in 1913 and pictures many of the advertising posters, calendars, packs, and other promotional items used to sell Camel cigarettes by RJ Reynolds tobacco company headquartered in Winston-Salem North Carolina and ends in 1963. Many of the items shown are courtesy of Thomas Gray and Odell Farley that live in Winston-Salem North Carolina. There are many items that will bring back many memories to any collector of tobacco and especially Camel cigarette items. This book would make a fine reference for the collector or seller of Camel items. I decided to buy this book since I myself collect Camel items and do have many of the items pictured in this book. This book is like a trip down memory lane since it shows many of the famous Hollywood actresses that promoted the sale of Camel cigarettes. This book is sure to please any Camel collector and should provide a great reference of early Camel cigarette items, posters, calendars and other items.
