The Philosophy of Cheese

£10.00

The Philosophy of Cheese is a companion volume to my book, The Philosophy of Coffee, part of the British Library’s The Philosophy of… series. This little book (just 112 pages) with beautiful illustrations sourced from the British Library collection, makes a perfect gift for cheese lovers, answering important questions such as “can I eat this cheese rind?” and shedding light on why Cheddar stands as a symbol for industrialisation.
