description: "Coffee is the only beverage that sharpens rather than stupefies the mind, and cafes are meeting places of the mind, an expression of a culture…" David Burton, food critic and writer introduced "Café's of the World", a book for café and coffee aficionados. Forty-two evocative photographs by Grant Sheehan reveal the ambience, the architecture and the people of many of the world's most interesting cafes. This unique book takes the reader on an illuminating journey, visiting the highly individualistic cafes of Australia and New Zealand, the grunge cafes and classic diners of the United States and the grand cafes of Europe. From the eccentric to the elegant, sumptuous to small, this insightful view of international café society shows its many forms and explains its enduring popularity.
