I did a quick search and here it is. I'll definitely have to pick a few...maybe all of these up, haha. Thanks for putting up this list.

Started working my way though them myself thanks for the heads up. I've had this book highly recomended to me on several occasions but I have not been able to find anything on the internet, only a not available sign on amazon.com. It is Philippe Jobin's "The coffees produced throughout the world". I believe it was originaly written in French and then translated into English. Do you know of it and or where I can get my hands on it. Is it worth my hard earned money. Hope your having a good time in Norway Great post Jim, some great books there.

I'm 2 weeks away from starting my masters degree in a totally unrelated subject, and now I'm tempted to start reading several months' worth of coffee books. With my ADD, I will probably end up reading these before anything I've been assigned. Hopefully none of these books are available in Toronto ;) Thanks a lot, James.
