A great read on the spice trade is 'Nathaniel's Nutmeg'
My late father was the Chairman , of what later became the Spices Board. Quite a few of the Govt . aided Cardamom Plantation schemes were formulated and initially put in place by him...after quite a few trips to Delhi of course.
i don think that spice will ever lose its romance with the world
