Item description from seller

Quarto, hardcover, near fine in red boards. Wonderful, framable, photos and paintings. Embossed decorative cover, pictorial endpapers. Lovely book! No dj. Here is the history of the vine, through ancient, biblical and classical times up to today. Here, seen through the life of a typical Burgundy winegrower, is the arduous annual work cycle of the vineyards-plowing, pruning, training, tying, harrowing, sprayng, protecting against storm, frost and disease-and then, amid merrymaking and traditional celebrations, the harvesting and wine making. Here too are the special methods used in producing famous wines such as the Champagne of France. the Sherry of Spain. the Port of Portugal, the Tokay of Hungary, the Chianti of Italy-all wine types long since duplicated, in name if not in quality, in many other countries. " Recipes by Madeleine Othenin-Girard. Index.

Store description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
