Description

Compleat Martini Cook Book, 1957, Baba Erlanger and Daren Pierce. First Edition, First Printing, still with errat, wearing some of the a sheet. Oversized cookbook with heavy cardboard cover and plastic comb binding. 32 pages. Published by Random Thoughts Publishing Co., Inc. No dust jacket, as published. Cover has lots of light shelf wear, wearing off some of the black. Some lower teeth of the plastic comb binding are broken. Pages are clean and clear.

The chapters have recipes for cooking after two martinis, after three, after four, after five, and after six martinis. The illustrations are what make the book. They are perfectly drawn and very, very funny. If these people drank as much as they say they did, it’s a wonder they could cook at all.
