In an anthology.

If you’ve been enjoying the many volumes of Stephen J. Pyne’s “To The Last Smoke” series and ever found yourself thinking, “Gee, I’d really like to recommend this entire collection to some friends but I don’t know if they’d be willing to read so many books” then your friends are now in luck.
