New York: Bonanza Books,. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1966. Hard Cover. 171 pages, well illustrated, cloth, dust jacket frayed otherwise very good. Measures 8 inches by 10-1/2 inches. From the dj: interesting information about the drinking habits of America's early colonists who were by no means as puritanical as one might suppose - about the historical importance and the respectability of our early inns and taverns - the role they performed, and their relation (close) to the church - what they looked like and who used them - what was drunk and how it was made. Interesting sidelights on little known facts of Colonial life, the origin of the cocktail - instant beer back in 1846 - the 1840 forerunner of Alcoholics Anonymous - state prohibition laws forbidding the sale of liquor 'in quantities of less than a gallon' - tea believed to cause loss of memory and tooth decay; coffee, an aphrodisiac . . .Besides providing entertainment for the casual reader with its many fascinating glimpses into the lives of the early Americans, John Brown's Early American Beverages should appeal strongly to everyone interested in Americana: the bibliophile, the collector, the genealogist, and the historian - and even the indomitable do-it-youselfer who figure they can do anything their ancestors did, including the home brewing of such realyy delightful drinks as metheglin and syllabub. . more information

Little Rock: August House. 1989. Hard Cover. 0874830966 . This volume is part of The American Folklore Series, S.K. McNeil, General Editor. 128 pages, illustrations, cloth, dj, very good. Measures 9 inches by 11 inches. 1st edition. From the dj: Why does a waiter put the check face down on the table? How can you predict whether a given meal is more likely to be cooked by a man or a woman? Why have 'food courts' in shopping malls become so prevalent? Why do we transfer store-bought foods into other containers when serving guests - for instance, placing mayonnaise in a little dish rather than offering it from the jar? Why is gardening so popular? Would a baseball game be a baseball game without hot dogs? Why are mothers treated to dinner out on Mother's Day rather than dinner at home? In American Foodways, Charles Camp answers these and many other fascinating questions about the role of food in American life. Anyone interested in food, culture, or food and culture will delight in this lively study. From the campaign barbecue to Dad's Saturday pancakes, as Camp shows, there's a lot more to our eating habits than just hushing a growling stomach. . more information
