George Sandeman has written, saying that the first edition appeared on Portuguese TV! RTP (their BBC), in a segment about our favourite wine and the Platinum Jubilee, from 01:29 to 01:32.

Any thoughts on a more picture based book? 2/3's picture, 1/3 descriptions. Would have a broader appeal.

Just that. I (and I assume everyone else that ordered the book) received an email saying the book has been printed.

The first edition was fantastic, and on reading the email, I'm quite certain that the second edition will be even better. Looking forward to getting my hands on it. Many thanks to Mr (Dr, clearly worthy of a PhD) Wiseman for such a fabulous book.

The printer has sent me a speedy copy, the others being transported more slowly. And it’s fabulous. The pictures are brighter and higher resolution than in the first edition. The paper has been slightly lightened, both colour and weight, but is still properly opaque. And the author (says this entirely neutral observer) has done a great job: 635 pages of the first edition has become 700 pages of the second: more Vintage Ports, more detail, more ancient tasting notes of Ports for which you or I might bid at auction.

I am going to have to re-shelve all of my Port books as a result of this one’s arrival...

Mine has arrived - it looks and feels excellent. The Book is also particularly attractive w/o the dust cover, which is a nice touch. Many thanks, Julian.
