Damp-stain to top edge of dustwrapper's lower panel, and, very superficially, to lower board; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. Uncommon. "Dramatic changes have taken place in the South African brandy world in recent years, involving the emergence of new estate brandies and the extention of the spectrum of products on the market, ranging from the 'long drink' to the choice after-dinner liqueur drink. The Essence of the Grape evokes and celebrates the new perception of brandy as a drink for the connoisseur. It explores the fascinating story of distillation in the ancient world, the emergence of cognac as 'the mother of all brandies', the history of brandy in South Africa and the remarkable blend of art, science and humanity that goes into its preparation.".
