This book gave me a overview of tequila that included the agricultural considerations, cultural heritage, and history of mescal de tequila, not just a guide to making margaritas. It is well written with enough detail to satisfy the curious, yet straightforward enough to allow for the average reader. Exceptionally informative book!.  By Keith Labaw “The Desert Yeti” March 17th 2004

I purchased this book at a museum garden in Arizona a year ago and just got around to reading it. I was enthralled. The book has more about the wonders Agave than just tequila but it has enough fun to keep a non-botanist reading. I have never before yearned to go to Jalisco and sample from the various distilleries. I learned a great deal about pulque, aguamil, and the Spanish influences of distillation. I have since tasted several tequilas and mescals and I appreciated them more than ever. By Eric Larusson Villager Nursery, March 30th 2010.
