This lot includes two great wine - related books. First, 'Wine Makers Manual: A Guide for the Home Wine Maker and the Small Winery' by Peyton Boswell, published by Orange Judd Publishing Company in 1952. The edition is unstated. Second, 'A Guide to Good Wine' by Allan Sichel, Leslie Seyd, H.B. Lanson, Lance K. Cock, Ian Mackenzie, Alfred Langenbach, with a revised edition published by Abbey Library in 1971. The books are in acceptable condition. The covers under the dust jackets are clean. There is soiling and foxing along the fore - edge of the text block, writing on the front pastedowns, and some soiling on the pages, but readability is not affected. The bindings are stiff, and the dust jackets are also in acceptable condition.
These two books are a great resource for wine enthusiasts. If you're a home wine - maker, use Peyton Boswell's manual to learn the ins and outs of making wine at home or running a small winery. 'A Guide to Good Wine' can help you understand the qualities of good wine. When using these books, handle them gently as they are older and may be a bit fragile. Keep them away from moisture to prevent further soiling or damage. Store them in a cool, dry place on a stable bookshelf. Since there is some soiling on the pages, be careful not to transfer dirt to other items while handling the books. Enjoy exploring the world of wine with these classic guides.
