from Russia with love
by Willard Clarke, 10/04
The postman rang the doorbell in September with two copies of my Complete Guide to World Beer (Carlton Books), which will be available in the U.S. It's a thorough overhaul and updating of my mid-1990s Ultimate Encyclopedia
of Beer.
What was especially interesting about the advance copies is that one is printed in Russian. Brewing is expanding at a furious pace in Russia and I wrote a new section about the country for the book. I think it may
be the first book about beer by a western writer to appear in Russian.
It's intriguing to see that the title is IINBO or Pivo, the Slav word for beer, while my
| name appears in Cyrillic as |  . | May the roubles roll in. |
