at a work in progress.

Not quite 500 pages.

Bitter!

All proceeds go to the Andrew and Alexei shoe fund.

Bill said...: Is this the official release of the first edition or as you state a work in progress?; 18 March 2011 at 04:20
Ron Pattinson said...: First Stater, this is a work in progress. Not sure when the official release will be.; 18 March 2011 at 04:28
Thomas Barnes said...: Nice cover - a blown up portion of Manet's "Bar at the Folies-Bergeres." Given the audience, the beer is a much better choice than the bored barmaid.

That said, I don't think that a 500 page mini-book is "to style" according to the BJCP and BA guidelines for beer books. Properly speaking, it's more likely to fall into the category of "doorstop," "technical manual" or the nearly extinct styles of "telephone book" or "mail order catalog." :); 19 March 2011 at 19:27
Ron Pattinson said...: Thomas, the final version will be a Mega Book. I had to change plans after I got past 400 pages.; 20 March 2011 at 04:52
