Frank Faulkner, who published this book in 1884, was one of the preeminent beer writers of the late 19th century. He was the author of several brewing books; created the English-language edition of Louis Pasteur's Studies on Fermentation (with the full blessing of the famous author); and was a long-time staff writer for England's leading brewing magazine, The Brewers' Journal. This particular volume is a much-enlarged and revised version of his 1876 work, The Art of Brewing. As scientific and technological advances in beer-making exploded throughout the late 1800s, Faulkner was compelled to keep brewers well-informed and up-to-date. Hence this book. At the rear of the book appear a number of advertisements for various brewery equipment makers, ingredients suppliers, etc., etc. CONDITION: Very Good. Cover shows bumping at extremities. Otherwise, cover is extraordinarily clean. The gilt lettering on spine and front cover are strong and bright, making for a beautifully-displaying book. Inside, on the second and third blank page, someone has made notes in pencil. The rest of the text is super clean. Hinges and binding strong and tight. Chapter List: • Introduction
