Susan,

Many good references have already been provided, but there are worlds 
more: see http://www.claypipes.com

There is also is a newer pipe volume out than Smoke's monograph which 
was written by J. Byron Sudbury (PhD, RPA)
under contract with the NPS that is a very useful 19th century volume 
(with pretty
incredible photographs [the cover version on slick paper is worth the 
extra cost]).

[By the way, Pfieffer's volume is paper back not cloth--the reviewers' 
blurbs have erred in that
statement.]

The main illustrated survey of all USA pipemakers remains Sudbury's 1979 
article that
was published in the British Archaeological Reports pipe series:Historic 
Clay Tobacco

Pipemakers in the United States of America. /The Archaeology of the Clay 
Tobacco Pipe/, II.

Brit Arch Reports Interl Series 60:151-341. It is long out of print; 
there have been two copies

sold on eBay the last two years for around $80.00 (which, most 
unfortunately, means the

original owner died and the book was resold by the heirs...)._
