Zustand: VERY GOOD. First printing. An early book by this American wine writer and wine merchant, who dropped out of Princeton to travel in Europe. His first book was "Through Europe on Two Dollars a Day" and this title was the 3rd in his "Travellers Series." With the approaching end of Prohibition in the United States, he researched and wrote a series of articles on wine for The New Yorker, and he went on to become the most influential writer on wine in the United States, with his work "Schoonmakers Encyclopedia of Wine" still regarded as a classic. He was also a prominent wine merchant, a consultant to many California winemakers and he introduced the idea of using varietal names for American wines. This early work reflects his enthusiasm for Europe, but wine is barely mentioned with a brief allusion to the "moderately priced Chianti and Frascati are probably the most reliable." Illustrated with photographs and several maps, including one folding map. Index. 218 pp. Map endpapers. Very good+ in navy blue cloth with gilt lettering (lettering rubbed on spine, but book is overall tight and clean).…
