The Compleat Imbiber 5

The Compleat Imbiber 5 was edited by renowned British wine writer, Cyril Ray, the Imbiber was a series of anthologies that appeared from 1956 until the early 1970s. In terms of content, it was rather all over the place. “I have imagined this collection as a sort of dinner party,” Ray once noted. “So there is order in it, such as becomes a dinner party. The anthology went through numerous editions over the years, remaining wry, informed, and unapologetic all along. Highly literate, The Imbiber assumed its reader was, too.  It is a good solid 1962 copy of No 5 with no markings. https://hungrytraveller.com.au/3d-flip-book/the-compleat-imbiber-5/
