Proof/ HB / Dick Francis

€ 27,22

First published in 1984, Proof was Dick Francis's twenty-third bestselling racing thriller. Set in the world of wine and spirits, it is crafted with his usual high standard of drama, suspense and invention. If you mix a liquid with gunpowder and ignite it, and it burns with a steady blue flame, then the liquid must be at least fifty per cent alcohol: and that's PROOF ... That's the way they proved a liquid was alcohol in the seventeeth century when distilled spirits were first taxed, and that's what is meant by proof to this day.
