The Circle has now published three books about labels ‘Wine Labels 1730-2003’ , ‘Sauce Labels’ and ‘Boudoir Labels 1753 - 1965’ .

The three books are available to anyone, not just members.

In October 2012 the Circle published Boudoir Labels written by Professor John Salter. Over 200 pages long and lavishly illustrated, the book covers the many potions, alcoholic drinks, perfumes and medicines kept in ladies' boudoirs. In addition there are fascinating explorations of the history of many of these liquids and of their place in social history. The book is now available at a price of £55 UK and £58 overseas - prices include postage.
