The intro of a new book on Port

[Roy Hersh]

For those of you who do read the FTLOP newsletter, I reviewed a brand new book on Port, that Portugal's Joao Paulo Martins wrote. THE PLEASURE OF PORT ... THE INSIDE STORY OF A UNIQUE FORTIFIED WINE.

I thought I'd alert those that may not have seen the review, but more so, because the book itself is worth seeking out!

Thanks, Roy.

Do you know when the book will be available as it is not currently listed on Amazon or any other site I normally use?

Even better, he should run an offer on FTLOP for the book autographed and maybe even at a discount.

To be clear, this is not written in a way that the author would consider it "THE definitive tome" on Port. It is a fairly quick read and is a soft cover book to boot, only 5" in width across the cover; what he calls a "booklet". I believe it will be on the market before the end of this year, as Joao put the finishing touches on it in June. If you want a more certain date, I could email him and find out.
