Home Brewing (Self-Sufficiency)
by John Parkes
Staff Pick
This charming primer on home brewing resembles a child's colorful library book, but the information inside is strictly for grownups. John Parkes, a professional brewer from Devon, England, lays out the basics of beer history and home brewing 101 for enthusiastic novices. He also offers troubleshooting tips in case something doesn't go right. The color illustrations and simple instructions make this a pleasure to read (it feels more like a hardcover 'zine than a technical manual) and will get you itching to start on your first batch of home brew.

Is This Bottle Corked?: The Secret Life of Wine
by Kathleen Burk and Michael Bywater
Staff Pick
This breezy factoid of a book is sopped in wine history, folklore, and anecdotes. Kathleen Burk, the Oxford-educated daughter of a California grape farmer, entertains with her quick wit and humor. She explores why Elizabeth David ever suggested serving wine with omelets, what Napoleon's favorite wine was, and why we still "drink to forget." Oh, and the story of the Austrians who put diethylene glycol in wine is unforgettable.
