The Book of Non-Electric Lighting

The Classic Guide to the Safe Use of Candles, Fuel Lamps, Lanterns, Gaslights & Fire-View Stoves, Second Edition

Tim Matson

In this completely revised and updated classic, Matson describes in lively detail all the elements of firelight. He begins with an explanation of the lighting system he developed from his Vermont home.

Matson explores the romantic history and modern molding of candlepower; he compares the traditional kerosene lamp, the versatile Aladdin, the liquid propane (LP) gas lights, and kerosene and gas lanterns (the Coleman); and he emphasizes incandescent mantle safety.

This guide will be indispensible for vacation homes, camps, boats, RVs, independent homesteads, and an invaluable resource for blackout situations.
