ATHG Group: I took a trip up to Univ Calif Davis yesterday, to look at their copy of *One Hundred Years of Brewing* (1901), an invaluable source on both beer in the U.S. and elsewhere. Davis, because of its California wine connection, has a terrific collection of industry-related books, journals, and even pamphlets. The reference librarian, Axel Borg, is (Bless him!) a pamphlets collector. Borg and Maynard Amerine, noted California wine scholar, are preparing for publication a volume titled "A Check List of Books and Pamphlets on Grapes, wines and Other Alcoholic Beverages Published in the United States Before 1901" (UC Press). I thumbed through much of the MS, and it was very useful for my purposes--particularly because of its inclusion of industry-related & governmental/regulatory materials. I also stumbled upon a wonderful big book by Samuel Morewood, Esq. titled "Philosophical and Statistical History of the Inventions and Customs of Ancient and Modern Nations in the manufacture and use of inebriating liquors (Dublin, 1838). This 700+ page beauty offers virtually a world-wide inventory of contemporary production and consumption practices. If the handling of other countries is as good as the U.S. section, then it looks pretty good! There's a good section on Canada (N.B. Crystal!) and some useful crossnational stats at the back (N.B. Phil Pauly!). If the Davis library section on wine were a restaurant it would get three stars--i.e., definitely worth the trip. Cheers! Ron Roizen, Berkeley, CA
