An Update from Ian Buxton at Classic Expressions (the photo as shown is of the original  book and not the reprint);

It’s at the printers now, so the Founder Subscriber offer is closed. We’ll have postage prices (and thus the confirmed final price to subscribers) shortly once we get the final weight.

We can still take orders, so people need to email us, but all future orders will be at the published price (£99 + shipping)

The Original Offer from Classic Expressions;

We have some good news for you regarding your interest in J A Nettleton’s The Manufacture of Whisky and Plain Spirit.

You’ll remember that this is our planned facsimile reprint of this classic 1913 distilling text book – for many years the standard reference work and an essential source of information for authentic distilling practice from before World War One.    It’s never been reprinted and you’d expect to pay close to £1,000 for a copy, if you could ever find one.

The Manufacture of Whisky and Plain Spirit is packed with technical detail and copiously illustrated.  It’s over 650 pages long, larger than usual in format (24 x 15½ cm), contains more than 70 plates and as is usual for Classic Expressions, will come in a handsome slipcase with a fully searchable PDF on a handy CD.  The edition size will not exceed 300 and all copies will be individually numbered.  The names of our Founder Subscribers will appear as a frontispiece.

You asked us to reserve a copy, without obligation, while we assessed interest and priced the reprint. 

We estimated the cost then at £85-100 for Founder Subscribers, a discount on the published price of up to £125, plus shipping.

Well, scanning of the book is now nearly complete (this is a time-consuming process, as you can imagine) and we have print prices.  With the recent recovery in the international value of the pound sterling,

 I’m delighted to tell you that the Founder Subscriber price will be £79, plus shipping. 

Once we close the Founder Subscriber list the price will rise to £99.  We’re getting ready to print and expect to be shipping the books in August to our Founders.
