An altogether lovely book that's as useful as it is relevant.
Xanadon't's rating:

100 times better and more useful than the cover art suggests.
Xanadon't's rating:

FOOD & WINE: Cocktails 2012 (2012)
Impulse buy at an airport book store. Surprisingly useful, though limited.
Xanadon't's rating:

A thoughtful gift from my father and an entertaining read, combining two of my favorite universes.
Xanadon't's rating:

An undeniably entertaining and wonderfully non-politically correct little time-capsule.
Xanadon't's rating:

One of the absolute essentials.
Xanadon't's rating:

Fine for what it is, though now a bit dated I'm sure.
Xanadon't's rating:

An absolutely essential reference book and guide to tasting notes of a vast array of spirits for the liquor/liqueur enthusiast!
Xanadon't's rating:

Far more history than you'd guess. Informative and often laugh out loud funny. Great gift from my little brother.
Xanadon't's rating:

The first "bar book" I spent any real time with. Not terribly well organized, surprisingly not as comprehensive or user friendly as one might think.
Xanadon't's rating:

And impressive walk through history and valuable tool today.
Xanadon't's rating:

An entertaining memoir infused with attitude.
Xanadon't's rating:

A History of the World in 6 Glasses - Tom Standage
Fascinating look at the role manmade beverage has played in various societies across the centuries.
Xanadon't's rating:

Cosmopolitan: A Bartender's Life - Toby Cecchini
A comic and enchanting memoir from someone that has done time in the trenches and achieved his dream of opening his own NYC bar.
Xanadon't's rating:

An instantly indispensable classic from the highly renowned and accomplished Jeffery Morgenthaler.
Xanadon't's rating:

Very useful and beautifully illustrated guide, even if somewhat limited in its scope. Still, any modern bartender will benefit greatly from its pages.
