Anyone who has ever been to Indonesia will never forget the unmistakeable scent of the indigenous clove cigarette or 'kretek'. .... (This book) not only documents the particular circumstances that gave rise to the birth of this remarkable tobacco product just over one hundred years ago, but also provides the perfect introduction to the kretek industry today - an industry that for generations has provided a livelihood for millions of Indonesians and is a major pillar of the Indonesian economy. ... Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs, works of art, advertising graphics and dozens of archival images from museums, libraries and private collections around the world, 'Kretek' is both a work of scholarship and a celebration of the extraordinary story that lies behind this unique product from the shores of the Indonesian archipelago."
