5.0 out of 5 stars The Best 50 Martinis (Best 50) Very Nice book
My wife wanted a martini set for christmas and so I orderd this book to compliment the set. She loves the book it is very well done with great pictures and instructions. A must have for the casual martini drinker who wishes to have some great martini recipes on hand for that special occasion, or hosting party.

2.0 out of 5 stars Spend a few extra dollars on a book that is worth it
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...

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing., March 7, 2004
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, September 3, 2009

This review is from: The Best 50 Martinis (Best 50 Recipe) (Paperback)
This book is more cute than useful. If you drink martinis you can probably come up with most of these on your own.
