There are links to his book/s on the St Helena site, as relevant to coffee generally. (He may have written about St Helena in one of his books.) I love the sound of the St Helena beans and their provenance.

I can't afford to buy at the mo' as I'm on my £15/week thing until my debt's paid off. ahandfulofbeansblog.wordpress.com (Not coffee beans in this instance; kidney this week.)
