San Francisco: S + G, 2013. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/no jacket, as issued. About As New in all respects. Clean and unmarked. First printing, full number line. "Why have one delightful cocktail when you can have two or three? This book, as elegant as it is useful, adds a golden arrow to the serious drink-mixer's quiver. Armed with it, I look forward to shimming everyone in sight." -- David Wondrich, Esquire columnist and author of Imbibe! and Punch (advance praise). From the author: "...I revisited about 500 recipes from 150 years of cocktail books and other sources. Once the final 53 recipes were selected, I again contacted bartenders and others in the cocktail world to bring their voices into the book. I also confirmed the history of each recipe with the goal of providing as accurately as possible the origin of these drinks. Where I was able to connect with living drink creators, I included their thoughts on the cocktail. The book was tested with beta readers representing cocktail fans, industry professionals, and those new to the subject. Fortunately, all this hard work was also tremendous fun and I thank everyone involved, especially you, the reader. Enjoy! " Every effort is made to ship all books and other items within 24 hours.
