Hardcover. 185p., first edition orange boards in dj; jacket is embellished with the "rising sun" motif. Mild shelfwear, dust jacket has a small crease, spine panel orange faintly faded. Author has inscribed and signed (as "Helen Barlow") the ffep, year of publication; and laid in is a later-generation studio portrait of the auth…or, which does not duplicate anything supplied in book or on jacket, as these are imageless. Yet another record of between-wars espionage on the part of US civilians. Had "Heiji Vere" left in all of her spy stuff (it is plainly sanitized) and had she handled the romance element more deftly, "Two zany Americans" might have attracted a major publishing house. The plot is as follows, per the blurb, which is surely author-written: "When Jaine Latimere, an Army wife who was also a radio broadcaster in Manila, decided that she and her 'right hand,' Kay Carstand, needed a vacation in Japan, the [US] authorities in the Philippines expedited their arrangements, because they could use this trip to their advantage. Jai was a trained observer of the passing parade and Kay was a gifted photographer, particularly with her lapel camera. And that was why the government wanted to use them." Helen Bryan Barlow is well-connected; related to Wm Jennings Bryan, her father a pioneer plastic surgeon, her mother, Nell Kauffman, one of the Gibson Girls. The indispensable blurb states that the author "has been in the movies, the theatre and radio since she was ten, has been married to an Army man, now a retired colonel, for 50 years." Most details of her vita overlap those of the fictionalized character of "Jai," and we may suppose that Helen Bryan Barlow did indeed spy as related --for the allies, in the pre-war gentlemanly style, a style doomed by FDR's acquired distrust of gentility. Jaine spent her childhood in Japan, has some familiarity with the language and customs, and loves the country and its people. She is quick to notice the predominance of German and Italian 'tourists' . The 'girls' go to Yokohama, Nikko, Tokyo, Miyanoshita. They find two treasures among the female 'bellhops,' --Suki and Sumi, who have a big part to play in the success of their assignment.

Knowing which country, which region, which vineyard, and even which hillside a wine comes from adds enormously to the pleasure of drinking it. Through its unique cartography--more than seventy-five spectacular, hand-painted panoramic maps--and Oz Clarke's lively and opinionated prose, this revolutionary atlas illustrates and explains the vital connections between the land, the winemaker, and the wine. This edition has been completely revised, updated, and expanded, with a closer look at Napa and Sonoma, and new maps for Chile, Argentina, and elsewhere. No other book maps the world of wine as vividly, and no wine library is complete without "Oz Clarke's New Wine Atlas." ; Contents: The world of wine -- The vine and its environment -- WOrld climate and vinyards -- Siting the vinyard -- The importance of soil -- The modern vineyard -- Grapes of the world -- Wine styles -- From grape to glass -- Wines and wine regions of the world -- List of panoramic maps -- France -- THe wine regions of France -- Bordeaux -- The Medoc and Haut-medoc -- Graves and Pessac-Leognan -- St-Emilion, Pomerol & Fronsac -- Bordeaux sweet wines -- Rest of Bordeaux -- Burgundy -- Chablis -- Cote de Nuits -- COte de Beaune -- Core Chalonnaise -- Maconnais -- Beaujolais -- Champagne -- Heart of Champagne -- ALsace -- Heart of Alsace -- The Loire Valley -- Anjou-Saumur -- Touraine -- Sancerre and Pouilly -- The Rhone Valley -- Northern Rhone -- Southern Rhone -- Jura and Savoie -- Provence -- Languedoc-Roussillon -- Corsica -- South-west France -- Vins de Pays -- Germany -- The wine regions of Germany -- Mosel-Saar-Ruwer -- Middle Mosel -- Saar-Ruwer -- The Rhine Valley -- Ahr and Mittelrhein -- Rheingau -- Nahe -- Rheinhessen -- Pfalz -- Franken -- Baden-Wurttemberg -- Hessiche Bergstrasse -- Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen -- Switzerland -- Valais -- Austrai -- Niederosterreich -- Burgenland -- Italy -- The wine regions of Italy -- Piedmont -- Barolo and Barbaresco -- North-east Italy -- Trentino-Alto Adige -- Veneto -- Friuli-Venezia Giulia -- Central Italy -- Tuscany -- Chianti -- Brunello Montalcino -- Southern Italy -- Sardinia -- Sicily -- SPain -- The wine regions of Spain -- North-east Spain -- Catalonia -- Rioja -- Aragon and Navarra -- North-west Spain -- Ribera del Duero -- Central Spain -- Southern Spain -- Jerez -- Portugal -- The wine regions of Portugal -- Northern Portugal -- The Duoro Valley -- Central and Southern Portugal -- Madeira -- England -- Czech and Slovak Republics -- Hungary -- Black Sea States -- Romania -- Western Balkans -- Bulgaria -- Eastern Mediterranean -- North America -- The wine regions of North America -- California -- North Coast -- North Central Coast -- South Central Coast -- Central and Souther California -- Pacific North-west -- Washington State -- Oregon -- East Coast -- New York State -- Canada -- South America and Mexico -- Chile -- Aconagua and Central Valley -- Argentina -- Australia -- The wine regions of Australia -- South Australia -- Barosssa Valley -- Coonawarra -- Calre Valley -- Victoria -- Yarra Valley -- New South Wales -- Hunter Valley -- Western Australia -- Margaret River -- Tasmania -- Queensland and Northern Territoy -- New Zealand -- North Island -- Hawkes Bay -- South Island -- Marlborough -- SOuth Africa -- Stellenbosch and Paarl -- North Africa -- Asia.; Large, heavy volume ; FINE/FINE.
