McGill-Queens University Press is flexing some Canadian certainty with its code: SNOW30. Use to get 30% off all online book orders through December 31. (the sale will end, the snow will continue...)

Delighted to see that includes _The Hour of Absinthe: A Cultural History of France's Most Notorious Drink_ by @drninastuder. Part of the _Intoxicating Histories_ series, _The Hour of Absinthe_ shows, to quote its tag line: how colonialism, madness, and murder turned the green fairy into the opium of the West. 🧚‍♂️
