Book reviews 2019 – a guide

• 1 min read
Shortlisted books for the 2019 André Simon awards

9 January 2020 We are republishing this list in order to remind you which books published in 2019 have been reviewed so far.

24 December 2019 It's book-review season again. We have tried to publish a few reviews of books Tam is particularly keen on in time for Christmas but there are still many more to come. Our picture shows the food and drink books shortlisted for this year's André Simon awards – all too few on wine, alas, though some of the titles reviewed by Tam were not submitted.

Below are those of Tam's reviews we have published so far, with the most recent at the top - although do note that some have been republished free after their initial publication. 

Also listed is Jancis's plug for the new edition of The World Atlas of Wine and photographer Jon Wyand's plug for his book on the Côte Chalonnaise.
