Seller's Description:
Illustrated by DUNN, H.T. ILUSTRATIONS. Fair. 7.5 X 5.1 X 1.2 inches FAIR CONDITION....Solidly bound, but covers and last few pages have been dog eared folded, and gotten quite chocolate muddy. Unatractive copy, but mostly nice....with problems to last 60 pages & back cover..; 363 pages; London's classic "alcoholic memoirs"–the closest thing to an autobiography he ever wrote–are a startlingly honest and vivid account of his life not only as a drinker, but also as a storied adventurer. Richly anecdotal and beautifully written, John Barleycorn stands as the earliest intelligent treatment of alcohol in American literature,
Didn't have to read far to begin some soul-searching. A must-read for anybody who ever wondered secretly, "am I drinking too much?" In spite of the philosophical aspect, it was interesting and entertaining.
