About This Item
The First UK printing published by William Heinemann Ltd, London In 1934. The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition. Slight splaying of the boards. The gilt titling remains very bright. Light offsetting to the end papers. Mild toning to the text-block and page edges. Free from inscriptions. Light crease to the upper corner of the first 30 pages. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. A little edge wear with some small closed tears and light rubbing in places. A small chip to the lower front cover edge. Light fading of colouring to the spine. Mild age related markings to the flaps and covers. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. A very scarce British cocktail guide in which the front flap states: 'The largest collection of formulae ever included in one book. 1,262 Sweet Cocktails, 287 Dry Cocktails'. De Fleury would go on to publish only one other guide in which he added 100 cocktails to this collection. A very attractive copy of a title which rarely turns up in collectible condition. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
