...more difficult to find the equipment, like turntables, things like needles and slipmats that you need. I had to make my own slipmats and things like that; now there are specialty shops all over the city.

It's amusingly easy, after all, to spot a novice pipe-smoker from their frustration in keeping the durn thing lit. For neophytes frustrated by packing, cleaning and storing their pipes, Leavitt and Pearce publishes a how-to pamphlet...
