About This Item
New York: Books Inc.. Good. 1936. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. "To the neophyte this work is dedicated - for him it has been carefully and thoroughly prepared. Here also the sophisticated drinker will find an authentic guide to a broader understanding of an art to which in truth an old adage may be properly applied - 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.' The combining and manipulating of nature's potent ferments in preparation for action upon the human system should not be treated as a mere matter of routine. There are lurking devils of confusion at hand ever ready to confound carelessness." - Introduction. 125 pages. Index. Appears to be an expanded version of the 1934 edition which contained only 93 pages. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. Perhaps uncommon in that half-title serves as the front fixed endpaper. Tight and unmarked with average wear to original pale green cloth. A sound vintage example. 6.7" x 4.4". ; 16mo .
