"""This book, like those dusty old bottles that so capture our romantic longing, takes us back in time on a journey into the animating forces that created the universe, the sun and the stars--and 1960s Very Very Old Fitzgerald.""-- ""Wright Thompson, author of Pappyland"" ""I put back Dusty Booze in one sitting. Aaron Goldfarb is a drinker's drinker, and a writer's writer. He's as well-versed in spirits as nearly anyone writing today, yet manages to uncover entirely new worlds in the pages of this book. By turns suspenseful, humorous, and philosophical, Dusty Booze is a propulsive read as deeply concerned with the obsessive, treasure-seeking mindset of collectors as with the vintage bottles themselves. It's easy to get invested in the thrill of the hunt.""-- ""Carey Jones, author of Every Cocktail Has a Twist and Be Your Own Bartender"" ""I'll read anything that Aaron Goldfarb writes about beverages, but Dusty Booze is essential reading for anyone interested in the lore of liqueur. Not only is this book a captivating and tirelessly reported dive into a subculture and its cast of Indiana Jones-like collectors, but it's also an engaging history about the global spirits industry and cocktail culture. Even if, like me, you're kicking yourself for missing the apex of collecting 'dusties, ' this book will forever change the way you think about--and shop for--booze.""-- ""Nick Fauchald, author of Death & Co and Cocktail Codex"""
