The best book of the Rare Malts Series,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rare Malts: Facts, Figures and Taste (Hardcover)
I had been looking for a guide or book or some reference guide for the scotch whisky that I collect. Then one day I was watching a documentary on the TV about whisky and the presenter spoke about this person and his book. I searched the United Kingdom book stores (I live here) and found the book but the few places that had the book wanted between £150 to £200 which is about $240 to $320, whew that was a lot of dosh!! But I found the book on Amazon.com and although it was used, and only cost me $48, I received the book and it was in immaculate condition. Really please with it.
