A Review of Doctors and Distillers in Falstaff International Magazine

The UK title of Doctors and Distillers is A Perfect Tonic. It's the same book otherwise. 

A Perfect Tonic was reviewed in Susan Low's The Kitchen Bookshelf column in Falstaff International. 

She writes:

Drinks writer Camper English’s deep interest in science fuels The Perfect Tonic. The book explores the history of fermented and distilled beverages, from the Indian Vedic period (2500-200 BCE) to the modern day, via the Ancient Greeks, and venturing into China, Persia and beyond.

…

It’s an intoxicating book, combining equal parts medicinal lore and history, and fizzing with factual oddities. An entertaining read that deserves to be savoured slowly over a Negroni or two.

I'm very pleased with that review!
