Hi everyone I have recently learned from ABC-Clio, the publishers of the Alcohol and Temperance in Modern History encyclopedia that they have placed this item on their reduced list. I just purchased a copy of it for under $100 (which included shipping and tax), which is a bargain considering how much it originally cost (over $200, I believe). This is an excellent encyclopedia, a sort of must-have for anyone studying anything in the broad field of alcohol and/or temperance history. If your university library doesn't have a copy, now might be a chance to push them to buy it. If you want a personal copy... well, Christmas is coming!
