Additional Details

Inscribed and Signed by Leicester to radio and television producer Alton Alexander: "This one is the very first assembled book--and it's for that old shrewdy." The cover states: "Make your own wine Legally Tax-Free at a fraction of the normal cost. Recipes for All Kinds of Wines" and includes recipes for eclectic blends such as rhubarb, dandelion, mango, currant, boysenberry, and wormwood. A scarce and interesting piece of ephemera.
