Coffee Floats Tea Sinks by Ian Bersten is a richly illustrated hardcover that dives into the social history of two beloved beverages. This 284-page volume blends food & drink lore with antiquarian charm, making it a collectible treat for coffee and tea enthusiasts alike.

Bersten’s narrative explores how coffee houses buoyed conversation while tea rooms steadied empire, all told through vintage photos and period advertisements. The crisp dust jacket and tight binding mean this copy feels fresh on the shelf yet retains the patina collectors love.

Only light foxing dots the top edge when the book is closed; the pages themselves remain clean and unmarked, free of smoke or must. From a smoke-free home, it’s ready to brighten a kitchen shelf or complete a culinary history collection.
