5.0 out of 5 starsGin - a fascinating history!
By Geraldtonjjeeper on October 6, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
To think that something so seemingly innocuous and ordinary today should have such a fascinating history and have contributed so much to life and the language of today. I have bought several of this "Edible" series and hope they are all as well written and interesting as this one! Excellent!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsA really good and easy to follow book
By Diane Edwards Perryman on January 14, 2013
Format: Hardcover
It seems books about spirits are outdated the moment they hit the shelves, but that being said, history doesn't change, so the vast majority of this book was really helpful in understanding gin's history and production. It is an easy and interesting read with a low geek factor, so I guess it will appeal to anyone looking to learn about the spirit that refuses to die.

4.0 out of 5 starsLives up to its name
By David J. James on January 9, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Exactly what it says : an introduction to the history of gin. I liked it, but if you are not interested in this subject or love the drink this book probably wont convert you.
