For those of you interested in the fire piston (and able to read French):
´Le Briquet pneumatique, l'enquête inédit`
By: Bertrand Roussel and Paul Boutié
48 pages (colour illustrations) - ISBN : 2-9526647-3-0
Price : 11
It covers the history of invention in Europe, SouthEast Asian fire pistons and tips for making one yourself.
I have just ordered it at:

(I ordered the other book, `La grande aventure du feu`, by the same authors as well, this one is about different methods of firestarting through the ages, including lots of primitive ones)
Cheers,
Tom
