The first comprehensive modern bibliography of coffee and its surrogates. A unique reference work listing some 15,000 imprints relating to every aspect of coffee from the past to the present. The principal writings on coffee have been identified and described subject to available source material attempting the maximum degree of information for each entry. Represented are authors treating the cultivation, production, preparation and consumption of coffee, its economic, social and cultural significance, its medical and chemical uses as a drug, and its falsifications and substitutes. The individual coffee content of the titles listed varies from monographs on the subject to works containing a chapter, or an extended reference, or, in the case of some early imprints, it might be limited to the mere mention of the word 'coffee' to indicate the writer's acquaintance with the drink, or to the term 'coffee-house' to illustrate its social and cultural impact on the period. The work is arranged alphabetically by author or title with indexes for source references and locations. The extensive notes are based on research over the past twenty years.Das maßgebliche Standardwerk über die gesamte Kaffee-Literatur.
