Críticas:

' In The Dedalus Book of Gin, Richard Barnett artfully charts the aromatic distillate's unlikely path from medicine to public menace, blending references as varied as the Archidoxa of Paracelsus and the American television series Mad Men to create a nuanced portrait of the drink and its impact on humanity.' --Evan Rail in The Times Literary Supplement

'A myriad of interesting facts, along with social commentary and historical information... Having awakened our thirst, Barnett reminds us after five centuries now is the best time to enjoy gin.' --The Scotsman

'A colourful journey through gin's history and its intersection with culture... this is a must-read for those who love gin.' --Class, the magazine of bar culture

Reseña del editor:

From the tyranny of 'Madame Geneva' to the doomed romance of Casablanca, this is a cultural history with a twist. 'His expertise and passion for the subject is immediately gin-clear... an intoxicating blend of history and entertainment that is sure to stimulate drinkers and teetotallers alike.' Publishers Weekly
