A propos de cet article

About the Authors: Derek Macdonald Cooper OBE (25 May 1925 – 19 April 2014) was a British journalist and broadcaster who wrote about food, wine and whisky. About The Author: Fay Godwin (1931 - 2005) was a British naturalist photographer who is known for her English landscape photography, but her output was broad, encompassing portraits, landscapes, urban scenes, and more. In her own words: ".I’m a documentary photographer, my work is about reality, but that shouldn’t mean it can’t be creative." (Source: Land (1985), foreword by John Fowles.) Her passion for photography was awakened later in life, when she started taking pictures of and while walking with her young children. A quick learner, she built herself a darkroom and began experimenting, with astonishing results. A lifelong environmentalist, much of her work was focused on capturing landscapes disappearing to be turned into office blocks and apartments. She is also known for her portraits of the creme-de-la-creme of the British literary scene (including Saul Bellow, Kingsley and Martin Amis, Seamus Heaney, Saul Bellow, Angela Carter, Margaret Drabble, and Antony Powell, among others). Her entire collection was donated to the British Library on her death, and can be browsed online. About This Edition: First edition hardback, clothbound in dark brown boards with publisher's dust-jacket. Some sunning to the spine and front cover, but otherwise a lovely, clean copy considering age and use. The perfect gift for photographers who enjoy a dram at the end of a long evening. The book details the battle between gaugers (who closed down illegal stills and bootleggers, and is an older term for an exciseman) and illicit distillers in the mountains of the Scottish countryside. Text by Derek Cooper with gorgeous photography by Fay Godwin. An interesting point of note is that the spelling of the drink varies according to cultural heritage. Whisky usually denotes Scottish, Japanese, or Canadian origin while Whiskey is typically used for Irish and American drinks.…
