Russell, I(Ed). WHISKY. Technology, Production and Marketing. London: Academic Press, 2003. xviii + 366pp. 10x7½ B/w illus. Text and tables printed two colour throughout. From the Handbook of Alcoholic Beverages Series. An extremely detailed and technical book written, with the exception of one chapter, by highly qualified research scientists. Therefore not really for the general reader, though a whisky enthusiast may be able to glean some useful information from it. I am not qualified to judge the content of the book, but have been told that the chapter on blending is not all it should be. Book is hardback, bound in glossy paper covered boards. Would have thought at this price the publishrs could have managed a better binding. VG+. Book No.467. This book can be ordered from Pickabook.
