Reviews
"Warner evokes a vivid picture of eighteenth-century London, complete with its public hangings and slums that seemed to overflow with gin." -The Seattle Times "Social history at its gimlet-eyed best." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[Jessica Warner's] prose is both lively and accessible, and she keeps the narrative moving along." -The Washington Post Book World "Fascinating...a crisp, detailed review of the history of the place and period." -Baltimore Sun

Synopsis
This engaging social history of the gin epidemic in 18th-century London is called "provocative . . . a crisp, detailed review of the history of the place and period" (Baltimore "Sun")., Rotgut gin-cheap, widely available, and remarkably potent-was the overwhelming drug of choice among London's working poor in the early 1700s. Sold for pennies in taverns and squalid gin shops, on street corners and even in jails, gin was the original opiate of the masses, plunging England's capital into chaos and giving rise to the first modern drug scare.Crazeis an engaging social history of gin and the men and women whose lives it touched: the poor who drank it, the distillers who made it, the members of Parliament who feared it, and the prime minister who relied on its tax revenues to line his pockets. Offering a rich political, social, and economic history of gin and the London of Hogarth and Dr. Johnson,Crazewill intoxicate you with its blend of erudition, style, and wit.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    This was a paperback/softcover 29 year old book I purchased in very good condition as described. However it was delivered in a plain white plastic envelope. They should have at least used a bubble pack lined shipping envelope for protection of the item inside. They should re-think their shipping & packaging strategies, especially with much much older delicate items. Other wise no problems whatsoever with seller. Recommended seller. A+
