Habich's School of Beer Brewing. Illustrated Handbook for Brewers, Especially as a Guide for Students of Brewery Schools]
Leipzig: Otto Spamer, 1875. 205 by 140mm (8 by 5½ inches). Contemporary half calf; XVI, [2], 330, [2], 456 pp. Third revised and enlarged edition. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1 covers brewing theory; part 2 covers practical instruction. In German. Illustrated with 311 (!) woodcuts, 146 in part 1 and 165 in part 2 (mostly of the newest brewing technology).
Very good with medium to heavy rubbing of calf; interior lightly browned but crisp.
Scarce wonderfully illustrated brewery school textbook. In the heavy-weight class, with over 800 total pages and 311 illustrations this book covers every imaginable practical and theoretical aspect of one of humanities oldest activities: brewing beer.
At the time of cataloguing, no other copy of this edition for sale. Per OCLC this edition not held outside of Germany or Switzerland.
