Our friends at the University of Kentucky Press offered a book as a prize on this new blog. Andrew Heineman was randomly selected as the winner.

He won The Social History of Bourbon: An Unhurried Account of Our Star-Spangled American Drink, by Gerald Carson.

Carson wrote several books looking at the social history of products. Another of his works was on breakfast cereal.
