  • Good product

    The book is great but the lengthy shipping was less than desirable, yes it was free but very slow and package travelled hundreds of miles out of the way.

    I purchased this book because I am getting more involved in mead making and I am not disappointed. This book goes very in depth about mead and it's history and I've already purchased two books that were recommended by the author. I'm very happy with the purchase and it will be on the shelf for future reference.
