Pasteur’s research on “beer diseases” caused by microorganisms revolutionized brewing. He perfected the use of pure yeast and discovered that a small amount of oxygen was key to crafting the perfect beer.
 
At our bookshop, we celebrate the stories behind groundbreaking discoveries. Stop by to explore the fascinating world of science and history! We’re proud to offer a first edition of Pasteur’s work, complete with a handwritten dedication signed by Pasteur himself.

    Buona sera da Firenze 🇮🇹 The past week I had Buona sera da Firenze 🇮🇹 The past week I had a blast. Simonetta taught me how to clean, wash, and restore old papers in her atelier in Florence. Can’t wait for next week when she will show me how to repair leather and parchment damages on antiquarian books. But for now I will explore & enjoy the city of Florence during the weekend. And when in Italy never forget to eat a good pasta and enjoy the wine (last pic).
