Re: Ok... The Best Book debate again...

The coffee obsessed build extensive coffee libraries, and coffee pot
inventories much as the trout fishing obsessed collect flies, and
special fishing hats.  On a given day, under different conditions any
one of them may be the best.  Here are a few that I find useful.
There are more of course, but if you become familiar with the material
in these it will broaden your coffee perspective, and provide a wider
field for discussion, harmony and debate.

I am not proficient in languages other than English, and so the books
below are either written in English or available in translation except
La Aventura del Cafe, a picture book so good that it is worth the
tarrif though the text may be useless to the American reader.

Enjoy.
