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 VERY hard-to-find classic The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks by David Embury; The illustrations are by the world famous Nathan Gluck published by Doubleday & company New York ; 1958 new revised edition, yellow with blue letters with art from Nathan Gluck; the boards are in great condition with just a little wear around the edges; tight spine; bottom corners gently bumped; no foxing; text block clean, tight, and square; pages lightly tanned; the book comes with a dust jacket that is in great shape only a few small tears and pieces missing; this book is filled with delicious cocktails and wonderful illustrations.
