London: Spring Books, 1965. Book. Fine. Cloth. First Edition Thus. Thick octavo, brown cloth covered boards. 449 pp. including index. Illustrated with woodcuts. A FACSIMILE reprinting of the 1889 of this rare and historic treatise on the history of beer and ale in home and tavern, daily use and festive drinking throughout English history. This copy in excellent apparently unread condition. A very tight, clean, unmarked volume whowing inevitable even light toning to the relatively cheap paper, but otherwise crisp, clean and vine in the dust jacket with the additional printed and wrap-around 3" wide extra price label. The dust jacket is also tight, crisp and clean but has just a couple of small edge nicks. Wrap around price label has a small faint round spot. Fine in near fine dust jacket and near fine wrap around label. Quite uncommon in this excellent condition..
