5.0 out of 5 stars Big Book, lots of things in it, May 28, 2009
By D. "DanceMouse" (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
if you want to expand your horizon regarding everything around bar and beverages, then this is your book. Easy explained and well organized. Even though new editions will follow, the basics will stay the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont know...have not gotten it yet!, February 25, 2009
This is a required text book for a university class I am taking. I ordered the book on January 24 2008. The class is half over and I still have not received this book. The only review I have is one of dissapointment. I would imagine that the only way that this system works is if you order a text book a semester in advance so that it may arrive in time for the class.I had to buy a full priced new book after a week or two without the assigned text book. I will not use Amazon to order text books again.
