I came upon a downloadable pdf (847pp, 70MB) copy of William Ukers
1935 classic "All About Coffee, 2nd Ed." recently. I have no idea
where it came from or who did the original scan, but I thought some
here might find it interesting to have a copy. It's posted to:

Yes, it's been floating around for quite some time.
Here's a link unobscured by nonsensical directory
heirarchies as well as being functional without the
use of javascript.

Hey, compared to 15 years ago, I've got virtually
unlimited storage and bandwidth. I'll host just about
anything. ;-)

The version I downloiaded a few years back was about 60 megs
(basically a facsimile with a gif per pair of pages wrapped inside a
PDF file); I think that could still take a chunk out of your bandwidth
budget if a lot of people want a copy.

1000 downloads per day would be no problem.

FYI, the recently (a few years) published facsimile edition is $96.
It's aesthetically pleasing, arcane, funky, and informative. IMO,
it's like a wonderful old cookbook that one would never read from cover
to cover, but if it sat well on a counter or a visible and convenient
bookself (one might even suggest a "coffee table"), you'd read pieces
here and there over the years. Personally, this is not the sort of
text I enjoy sitting in front of a monitor to read. Even less, would
I want to download, print, organize, access, or have it anywhere in my
line of vision. Just where are you going to store this ream of
home-bound paper? I know that this is in the category of
"let-me-tell-you-how-to-spend-your-money," but anyone who is actually
going to read this tome, deserves, at least, to have it look and feel
good. I got mine from SweetMaria's.

The download is a photostat of this foprmatted for an acrobat reader;
there's no need to print it out..
I have no doubt that the feel of the original is much better; and
Ukers' voice would probably seem a bit less self-satisfied in a heavy
tome than on magnetic eddies in a disc. Nevertheless, it works for
well for those unwilling to spend the bucks.
