Definitely a good 'starter' book for a new Tequila Afficionado. Nothing bad to say, but after you read this book, you'll want to know more........

I have read several tequila books and the wonderful website In Search of the Blue Agave which I feel is about the most complete factual reference widely available on tequila. This book offers something different. First, I feel it is a PERFECT gift for tequila lovers and experts alike. It is a bit light on the science and pure facts regarding tequila but it more than makes up for that with lush illustrations, descriptive stories and essays and fantastic vintage photographs of the history and culture of tequila. Part art book, part history, part sociology, this book delves deeper into the roots and cultural significance of tequila than any other source I have seen. It is compiled and edited, not authored so the viewpoints are diverse and fresh. Long after you (or your tequila loving friend) have mastered the technical differences between Blanco, Reposado, Agave and Joven, this gorgeous volume will continue to cultivate the art of tequila.

This must be without a doubt, the most beautiful book on tequila. Informative and exciting. Love tequila(?!), love this book!
