About This Item
New York: Books Inc, 1934. 1st Printing. Faux leather. Very good. Approximately 4.25" x 6.25". Complete with 93 pages including the index. Original red faux leather cover. Sound binding, clean pages, almost no wear. Doesn't appear to have ever been read. Over 250 drink recipes including 14 classics that Burke identifies as the "World's Most Famous Cocktails". Includes a three-page essay on "The Etiquette of Drinking" (a surprisingly cautionary warning about alcohol); two pages devoted to wines, liqueurs, pairings, and temperatures; and an eight-page selection on "Food Bits for the Cocktail Hour" that include recipes for assorted canapes, lobster dishes, rarebits, and sandwiches. Seldom found in condition this nice, especially first printings.
