I Have an original Duplais Treatise on Alcoholic Liquors, from 1871.
I'm thinking of selling it. Is there interest in this sort of thing? Thanks |

Twenty years ago, nobody would have cared.
Fifteen or maybe even ten, it would have been a very hot item in certain circles. Today, not so much, but you could no doubt find a buyer. Is it in French or English? -------------------- Il arrive souvent que les personnes couvertes d’esprit enflamme courent en appelant du secours.

It all depends who has been making notes inside the book...

QUOTE (triq @ Mar 15 2012, 02:14 AM)  Hmm... it's in English. That book was published multiple times after its initial publication. I have two editions in French. I know someone who has an English edition, printed in Philadelphia I think. Strictly as an antique, I have no idea of its value. The information it contains has a certain value for absinthe distillers, but that's possibly less than it used to be, because I long ago translated the sections of the French version that deal with absinthe, for the use of the English speakers, and those translations have become widely enough distributed that those people can find it at no cost if they want it. Also, as absinthe distillers have gained personal experience, Duplais doesn't carry the same (assumed) authority that it once did. But the book deals with much more than absinthe and may well be desirable to an American distiller. A French speaker may well prefer the French editions for obvious reasons. I can pose your question in an American absinthe forum for you if you'd like.
