Mitchell Beazley Acquires The Book of Coffee
Mitchell Beazley has acquired The Book of Coffee: A Philosophy by Julian Baggini, illustrated by Mariya Suzuki, featuring a foreword and afterword by James Hoffmann.
Publishing director Alison Starling acquired world all-language rights from Julian Baggini’s agent Lizzy Kremer of David Higham Associates and James Hoffmann’s agent Ben Clark from The Soho Agency.
Philosopher Julian Baggini and coffee expert James Hoffmann team up in this beguiling deep dive into what the world’s favourite hot drink can teach us about the art of living.
Baggini was inspired by The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura, published in 1906, which led him to explore our relationship with coffee.
