_Free_ (because now Open Access).

The book may not fit well in this thread--there may not even be any recipes in the book--but I felt that it would be close enough, given the fact that cooks probably would be more interested in the content than anyone else.

I didn't check for ratings of the book since the ebook was published just this year. [G.]

Bowl for a Coin
William Wayne Farris
2019

A Bowl for a Coin is the first book in any language to describe and analyze the history of all Japanese teas. To understand the triumph of the tea plant in Japan, Wayne Farris begins with its cultivation and goes on to describe the myriad ways in which the herb was processed into a palatable beverage. Along the way, he traces the shift in tea's status from exotic gift item from China to its complete nativization in Edo (1603-1868) art and literature and its eventual place on the table of every Japanese household. Farris maintains that tea farming exemplifies the increasing sophistication of Japanese agriculture after 1350, resulting in significant exports of Japanese tea to Euro-American markets. and securing Japan a place among the world's industrialized nations. By 1800, tea had become a central commodity in the formation of a burgeoning consumer society.
