Book, articles, advertising and broadcasting concerning liquor, and all formulas for mixing drinks once popular in all branches of society, were placed under Federal ban. From the hands of law-abiding experts the liquor business passed into the hands of novices from the underworld. Concoctions were served under titles never before known to the drinking world. Most of these drinks were abominable, mixed by men who did not know even the rudiments of the art. America today must unlearn all the follies she was taught in the name of Bacchus and must learn all over again what she has unlearned. This book will help all that want to become a great mixer! This is a wonderful well preserved copy of this hard-to-find classic The Cocktail Book A Sideboard Manual For Gentlemen published by John Hamilton, LTD. London; copyright date of 1926; first printing was in November this is a December second printing, no dust jacket; Red hardback with Black lettering; the boards have a few small stains; tight spine but a small bit of fading; bottom corners gently bumped; very little foxing; text block clean, tight, and square; pages lightly tanned and a few small stains; this book is filled with delicious cocktails and instructions on how to care and serve wine.
