I was just doing a random search for some coffee-related subject and happened upon something quite staggering. Google has digitized William Ukers masterwork of coffee history “All About Coffee”!  This is an incredible resource and it’s been on my very-longterm, wish list because it’s so rare and expensive ($110+).  It’s older than dirt (1922) so it’s public domain and google has taken it upon themselves to scan the entire book!  It’s indexed, so its fully searcheable in its classy PDF format with full illustrations!  Ah google if you weren’t a monolithic corporation of millions of employees I would kiss you!

So if you’re interested, take a peak:
