THREE BOOKS ABOUT COFFEE - Washington Post Book Reviews « ArcaMax Publishing

1 -- "COFFEE TALK: The Stimulating Story of the World's Most Popular Brew," by Morton Satin (Prometheus, $21.95). According to this charming volume, coffee is technically a seed, not a bean.

"EVERYTHING BUT THE COFFEE: Leaning About America from Starbucks," by Bryant Simon (Univ. of California; paperback, $17.95). The author is interested in Americans' rampant consumerism (what he calls a "postneed society"), and what better vehicle is at hand than the Starbucks phenomenon?
