I have Schomer's book for a year now (ordered it directly from him) and it is a great read. Now I am waiting for Scott Rao's book to be delivered (bought it through paypal several days ago). I guess I will have to look into the Instaurator's book as well. Is it any good?

EDIT: The book has arrived. It is somewhat taller and thinner than I expected (will not fit my oversized pocket very well). I am anxious to read it, opened a wine and commence reading now

H'mmmmmm. Not that there's anything at all wrong with wine, but it's an interesting choice of beverage to accompany this particular read (...unless, of course, it's because having already read up on wine you're prepared to drink wine, whereas you want to finish reading up on espresso before the espresso consumption begins...?)

Exactly Read about coffee and drink white wine. Does it get any stranger and more heretic? The reason was that I had some wine left from friend's visit and did not want to keep it overnight. And it was too late for coffee.

But in the morning I fixed that with a nice double espresso.


As for the book, it is great. wealth of information.

You can also try e-bay because I have seen this book up for sale there a couple of times. You just may have to wait to get one that has a seller that ships internationaly
