New York: Harper & Row. 1976. Hard Cover. 0061021793 . A Quarto Book. First US edition. 170 pages, very well illustrated (many in color), cloth, dj, very good. 8-1/2 inches by 11 inches. From the dj: In New York and Tokyo, Paris and Amsterdam, people open places which they call English Pubs. What is the magic of the English Pub? It was 'the cradle of American independence,' according to Thomas Paine; Marx and Lenin had the same favourite 'local' in London; Rule Britannia was written in a pub; the Shakespearian theatre started there. Since Roman times, the English have used the pub as a forum, and the very institution itself has become the subject of debate as the consumer movement for real ale has successfully challenged the big brewers. A pub can be a thatched cottage, a black-and-white timbered Tudor inn, a spectacular Victorian gin-palace, or an unassuming local. All of them survive, in every region of England, and each of them is examined in The English Pub, a study of a unique social phenomenon. . more information
