Bit of shopping

By James Hoffmann | Published: July 5, 2006

Was delighted to pick up all six volumes of Clarke and Macrae’s “Coffee” series for around $300 (£160!). That sounds like a lot but when I was in Foyles I saw volume 5 alone for £140 ($260)!

Vol 1 – Chemistry
Vol 2 – Technology
Vol 3 – Physiology
Vol 4 – Agronomy
Vol 5 – Related Beverages
Vol 6 – Commercial and Technico-Legal Aspects

Combined price on amazon is well over £800 ($1500+)

All that I really want now is the Sivetz and the Wintgens. Anyone got a few hundred to spare?
And the other Clarke of course….

Hmm… Maybe no more books for a while!
