Kenny’s Birds of Unusual Vitality Volume 2, a compendium of candid interviews and film portraiture featuring some of the leading minds of international coffee. Birds Vol. 2 is the very first release from the newly formed Sprudge Publishing imprint, our new publishing house. Today we’re very excited to reveal more details about the book, and to trumpet its online availability via webstore.
