In this age of reactionary politics, read this fine poet...and resist...
Donald Reiman's editorial skills are manifest here. His editing of Shelley's writing, from manuscript, the past five decades, has been one compelling reason for the long overdue renaissance in Shelley studies...and the consequences from that renaissance are aptly displayed in this volume, the second edition of the poets poetry and prose. I now have both. In the age of Trump and his ilk, it's important to return to writers who experienced the same sort of authoritarian venality we witness today...and resisted it with passionate and unyielding spirit...and the art such passion produced. Buy this, read the late poems, follow the journey...Song to the Men of England, Ode to the West Wind...and that last, amazing production, left incomplete at the poet's early death...The Triumph of Life...will leave you astonished at this young man's genius. You won't be disappointed...

Best book on roasting coffee, ever.
Of maybe 30 books I've read about coffee, this is the most thorough text I've encountered regarding the growth, processing and roasting of the bean. The analysis of the roasting process is superb, the scholarship as well. If you want to know about coffee and you'd like to try the roasting experience, you can't beat this book. It is the complete guide. Extraordinary. If the grading scale is 1- 10, I'd vote 20.

Best book on Coffee, ever...
I read this in 1977 and have had that copy since. And after forty years of coffee drinking, roasting and building a coffee-book library, I would unhesitatingly say that this book is still the best book on coffee (and tea) that I have encountered. So even though slightly dated, it retains it's compelling readability and scholarship - and has the "pocket-book" size that fits easily into a coat or jacket pocket. Unfortunately out of print. Peter Quimme - a pseudonym - may or may not still be with us, but I hope the former, and this book is updated and reprinted by he or someone gifted with his narrative skills and vast knowledge. Highly, highly, recommended.
