... not until I read all 520 pages of Mark Pendergrast's encyclopedic coffee epic did I realize how powerful the coffee image has been even beyond its caffeine component.
... informative and satisfying.
Pendergrast forsakes soothsaying and makes no attempt at philosophy, but he dutifully grinds through the old myths and stories.
... exhaustive, admirably ambitious.
Pendergrast approaches this history of the green bean with the zeal of an addict.
