At my university requests for textbook orders arrive early.  Later this
month I must identify the books that I'll use next Fall including a new
senior seminar on alcohol and other drugs in world history.   I have
been able to identify affordable books on drugs in world history.  For
alcohol/temperance nearly all books are country specific.  I have found
an affordable book for the USA.  Is there anything for Britain that is
reasonably priced? The first book that I investigated lists at US$85
which isn't practical.   By the way, the world histories of alcohol by
Phillips and by Hames won't be available in time for me.
