Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book

1981 Edition

Hardback with Dustcover

Publisher: Mitchell Beazley, London

Condition: Excellent, unused.

The Pocket Wine Book was first published in 1977 and has become the established number one in the market, widely considered a classic. The book covers thousands of wines, regions, growers, vintage information and recommendations and is an ideal companion when shopping for that dinner party, on holiday abroad or simply to educate yourself on the topic. Very readable with maps and nicely laid out information.  This is a 1981 example, an early edition of a modern day classic, still relevant and containing a wealth of useful information, and all the more interesting with the benefit of hindsight.
