There is one good book though that I really enjoyed (not really a comprehensive distilling book though) and that is " Secrets of the Still " by Grace Firth. She has had a very interesting life which comes through in her writing - has anyone heard of her? I would love to know more about this woman. The book is out of print and only available for quite a price. She talks some about distilling herbs, what temps to use and how to use the products.
