The main reason I thought this would be a good idea is because the book is basically everything you’ve seen so far, just pictures with a caption, sans the writer’s four paragraph introduction to the book. Scanning whole chapters of text seems excessive, probably wouldn’t please the authors and most likely would bore people to death. Pictures please and short blurbs keep the reader’s attention. Plus there are some great labels coming up. I’m trying not to peek ahead.

Sorry about not commenting sooner. I just saw your response this morning. The blogging comment system is flawed. There needs to be an e-mail notifcation to be able to keep up with all the blogs and comments left.

There are times when it might be most appropriate just to leave a comment at your site. And times when it is best to be silent (although that goes against my nature).

I think this book – naming a beer and the alphabetical part – probably suits you well. The first two entries in Steve’s book aret from Alabama. Birmingham Brewing And Port City Brewery. I don’t think either are around – although another brewpub operates where Port City once was.

I like the cross-post idea with further ruminations on your part. I’ll gladly write a blurb saying as much and direct others this way in return.
