In the color illustrated dust jacket: edges rubbed, spine sunned and a bit chipped. More than 900 drink recipes organized by essential base, first published in 1934.Duffy got his start at the Ashland House in New York and claims here to have introduced the highball to America in 1895. He shows pride in his "old and honorable trade" (but "mixologist is nonsense") and reluctantly accepts the best of Prohibition-era innovations, though cocktails he does not personally recommend are marked with a "precautionary" symbol. This enlarged edition augmented with a wine section by Murdock Pemberton, first art critic for The New Yorker and member of the Algonquin Round Table.Dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
