Below is an incomplete list of paperbacks
currently in print that could be used for college history courses. Please
let me know if I have missed some title. It is not confined to US or
European history, so send me citations for other countries as well. Scott
Haine will be publishing the completed list in a forthcoming issue of the Social
History of Alcohol Review.
Thank you, Chuck, for your reference.
Could you please send me the author, ISBN number, publisher and date of
publication?
