Strange. I was pretty sure I had posted to this thread before (with something from Spell Law.) In any case, at the moment, the first thing that comes to hand is <i>Designing Great Beers</i> by Ray Daniels (ISBN 08937381500). Here goes:

"I think you will find both types of information will stimulate your thinking about how a style might be brewed."

Well that was lame. Before I noticed that sitting on my desk, the nearest book on my left was the Time Life book, <i>Middle Eastern Cooking</i>:
"[Wheat] would also grow well if planted lower down, on the more fertile plains and foothills."

Also pretty lame.

To the right, then, Fritz Leiber, <i>Ill Met In Lankhmar</i> (ISBN 1565049268):
"If the Guild knew our looks or where we lodge, they'd have been nastily on our necks days, weeks, nay, months ago."
