Description
Bartender’s Guide . . . by Trader Vic: Bartender’s Guide was first published in 1947 by Doubleday and Company. This copy is from the 1948 printing by Garden City Books.
Hard back with dust jacket copy of the Bartender’s Guide by Trader Vic! Subtitled, “A Manual Including over 1500 Recipes for the Home and Professional Bartender.” 1500 cocktail recipes. 437 pages. Illustrated by Ray Sullivan. Sage advice from Trader Vic. This copy is in excellent vintage condition. It has its original shelf-worn dust jacket, with many little dings especially at the edges and corners. There are some small stain dots on the cover. Other than that, the book itself is in perfect condition. Other than those dots, the cover is completely pristine. Hinges are perfect. All the pages are clean and clear. Binding is firm. In fact, the firm binding is why these images are so weird. I couldn’t get the book open enough to get good images, and I certainly didn’t want to start breaking in the binding. I’ll leave that for you!
This book is illustrated by Ray Sullivan, who did the cartoons at the top of each chapter. Trader Vic’s prose is extremely entertaining and his advice is quite matter-of-fact. Chapter One is titled, “Phonies, Check-Dodgers, or the Perils of Bartending.”
