Grim

The wormwood society version was scanned from a reproduction owned by an absinthe aficionado (then) out of Atlanta. The version reprinted by David Nathan-Maister, was "directly scanned using state-of-the-art equipment from the original copy of the book in the Virtual Museum, and so all illustrations are complete and crystal clear." If anyone is seeking close-up scans of any of the fold-outs or plates from an original, just let me know.

It deals with the entirety of the french industry of the distiller of spirits from the 1850s with modifications and enhancements in each edition forward to the turn-of-the-century. I own several editions of this book... It's been a topic of conversation for many years here - the site owner, David Nathan-Maister, republished the English translation of this work that was done by McKennie.
