Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Frequently found in yellow wraps but here bound into dark green or black textured boards with the word "Swallows" stamped into front board, possibly originally in silver gilt but now faded. Bottom corner of front board here slightly warped. This revised edition of Boothby's popular cocktail manual first published in 1891 as "Cocktail Boothby's American Bar-Tender" and again in 1908 as "The world's drinks and how to mix them / standard authority." Over 1500 recipes, significantly expanded from the four hundred or so in the first edition.

"Bloody Mary" also not found, though there are numerous versions of the "Martini.".…
