I had wanted this book for quite a while, finally got it and was dismayed to see how little actual brewing information I got. The first half of the book seems to consist primarily of a history of Root Beer followed by 15-16 pages of recipes (short, limited in detail)many of which are only vaguely related to the subject. The book also has lists of books, supply outlets and internet sources (this may be the best part of the book)and a few other soft drink subjects. If you really want to make your own root beer or soda pop I'd say buy Stephen Cresswell's Homemade root beer and soad pop instead, I liked it much better.

this is a good book for the beginner and experienced collector of root beer collectibles, as well as for those who just love root beer or other sodas and other soft drinks.

As a gift for yourself or someone else, this book is sure to put a smile on the reader's face. With information on all kinds of techniques of root beer making and listings of a vast assortment of root beers, you can't go wrong buying this book.
