2.0 out of 5 stars Spend a few extra dollars on a book that is worth it, September 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best 50 Martinis (Best 50 Recipe) (Paperback)

I puchased this book at the same time as a martini shaker and thought it would be a good companion to my new shaker and glasses.

This books is very small, flimsy and posseses a lot less than than can be found at a basic drink website. ...the book is cheap BUT it is worth about $2, thats it. In looking through this book, I felt like I could have put together something better written, more informative, and thorough in about 2 hours sitting at the computer.

There are some good recipes in the book but most of them are variations of the same martini. I would recommend skipping this book and buying one of the other drink/martini books that cost a few $ more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Maybe as a gift with a shaker?, June 6, 2003

This review is from: The Best 50 Martinis (Best 50 Recipe) (Paperback)

I can only see this being a good book if given as part of a *martini-themed* gift basket... On the other hand the book *shaken not stirred* is much more fun, useful and informative...

The recipes here are good, but standard...nothing to warrent an entire book, really. It would look attractive, tho, as part of a gift set...so its kind of a mixed bag.

If your looking for a book for yourself... a first martini book with recipes, tips, sayings and martini lore, go with the other one i mentioned.

This review is from: The Best 50 Martinis (Best 50 Recipe) (Paperback)

The book is tiny, with cheap binding and mediocre photos. It won't last long around a wet space like a bar. As for the recipes themselves, they are just the standards. Ho hum.
