• "The New World Guide To Beer" By Michael Jackson ©1988, Quarto Publishing, ISBN: 0-89471-884-3
  256 pages, Concise & detailed region-by-region descriptions of breweries & styles produced. Excellent use of terminology; Michael is the foremost leader in descriptive written expression on beer evaluation, yet intercedes his opinion in the classic English sense that at times appears much like humor ~ thus keeping the Reader as captivated as a Barley Wine on a cold Winter's night...
