John and Erica Platter, Franschhoek (South Africa), 1981, Green Skivertex-boards with gilt lettering to the upper panel only, plain endpapers, 154 pp of text. Condition: complete, unmarked and fine throughout, 9 cms x 19.5 cms, condition: as new.
- Over the years, these guides have changed out of all recognition. Early issues (as this) had no colour and no maps or other illustrations. The bulk of the book (pp 7-69 and 95-154) is an alphabetical listing (from Audacia to Zonnheimer) of wine-producers and their wines.
- Pp 1-6, the prelims, are the title page, how to use the guide, including the use of the star system (no stars and * to *****), contents, preface and acknowledgments.
- Pp 70-94 are mini-essays on grapes and wine grapes, wine certification, wine of origin areas, styles of wine, wine-making terms, wine-tasting and tasting terms, the best vintages, wine storage, serving wines, wine and food, wine and health.
- Although 2nd edition stated this is technically the revised first edition, with many of the original evaluations modified & expanded and 1000 existing lines updated. A scarce item for an oenologist or just an inbiber like the rest of us.
