Book's corners a bit bumped Porpoise Press was founded by the author, MacDonald/Thomson, in 1922. Surprisingly, this distillation of whisky wit was not reprinted until 2006. The malt site Whiskipedia states "MacDonald's 'Whisky' is today regarded as perhaps the first modern book on whisky and certainly the first to treat the subject from the drinker's point of view." The author promotes single malt whisky over blends and defends the interests of consumers over producers. Thomson earned the nickname of Scotland's "best-hated man" while only 28 in the '30s. A crusading journalist, literary publisher, novelist and playwright, he espoused Scottish nationalism but stated Scotland was doomed by an influx of Irish Catholics. His pseudonym, Aeneas MacDonald, came from one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's Seven Men of Moideart. Regardless of his personality, he remains the all-time warrior of whisky.…

First American edition of one of the earliest paeans to single malt whisky and one of the best publications on the subject. It was written at a time when the coincidence of the First World War, the Great Depression, and prohibition had left whiskey sales on the rocks. A crusading journalist, nationalist, literary publisher, novelist, and playwright, Thomson founded the Porpoise Press in 1922, which was at the heart of the early twentieth-century Scottish literary renaissance. For this title he adopted the pseudonym Aeneas MacDonald from one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's Seven Men of Moideart. Octavo. Original dark red cloth, front board ruled in blind, spine lettered and with thistle motif in gilt, top edge blue. With dust jacket. Six newspaper clippings pertaining to whisky loosely inserted with concomitant toning to endpapers and prelims. Top edge and foot of spine a little sunned; jacket unclipped, spine toned with a few splash marks, chip at head, rear panel faintly foxed, head creased with two closed tears, a few nicks: a near-fine copy in very good jacket. …

Its slow recovery from the Pattisons scandal of 1899 had been interrupted by the First World War, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. "A crusading journalist, literary publisher, novelist and playwright, Thomson was the epitome of a thrusting new class of Scottish intellectuals who emerged out of the ruins of the Great War" (The Scotsman, 17 August 2013). He founded the Porpoise Press in 1922 and adopted his pseudonym from one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's Seven Men of Moideart. Small octavo (180 x 119 mm). Finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery in dark blue morocco, burgundy morocco label, twin rule to turn-ins gilt, burgundy endpapers, gilt edges. A fine copy. …
