The rights to this book rest with Edicao do Instituto do Vinho do Porto who published it in 1981, 8 years after the work was finished. The delay in publishing was due to the demise of the original sponsors, the Gremio dos Exportadores de Vinho do Porto. The preface says that no funds were available to publish the book until 1981. I have not yet read this book but it seems to provide lots of information and statistics relating to how the quality of vineyards and wines are assessed. There is also a section listing and describing the various Port-related Acts which came into affect between 1755 and 1967. A very useful reference.
