2.0 out of 5 starsYou Get What You Pay For...Kind of
By Mimi Cheetah on May 6, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Obviously the contents of this classic bar tending guide are good but the physical quality was very very bad. It will fall apart. I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and within minutes of turning the pages it started falling apart...but if you're just wanting the contents for semi-cheap...I guess this is the way to go...?

5.0 out of 5 starsThe man to start it all
By Bradley D. Dawson on March 4, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is the first bar book. First published in 1862.
The recipes prove it.
I am using a technique toward the back of the book to make an Effervescent Cocktail, which involves tartaric acid and sodium bicarbonate stired into the drink at the end.
Who says molecular mixology is a new fad?

5.0 out of 5 starsReally we'll done hardcover faximile of original.
By Foodie on March 27, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Great edition. This edition is a faximile of an original (so it does hove some imperfections from being scanned) but each original page is set within a box with decorative frame on each page (look at the Amazon preview 'look inside' feature to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Really nice cover and substantial paper. I thought it was really well done; far superior than the other paperback editions.

For the other review stating 'poorly transcribed', they really don't know what they are talking about. This edition is not transcribed, but rather a high quality scan and print of an original edition.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Bartenders Dream
By Don E. Rainwater on May 4, 2009
Format: Paperback
Having bartended for over thirty years, I have seen hundreds of bartending guides. This book has some real,grassroots reciepes that have disappeared over the last hundred plus years. This mix guide allows you to mix and enjoy the beverage as it was originally concieved. A great resource whether you are a bartender or just mix drinks to entertain friends.

1.0 out of 5 starsTERRIBLE REPRINTING
By TW on June 28, 2011
Format: Paperback
If I could, I'd give this version of the book negative stars! In my opinion, this version of Jerry Thomas' book verges on fraudulent. I don't know how in good conscience this publisher (Classic House Books) can put that title on what they have published! First, the drawings in the original are as important to the book as the printed material - and they have left out all the drawings. I believe that omission, by itself, essentially creates a misrepresentation of the original. There were at least two typos in the very short preface, alone - a rather poor reflection on the publisher. I will, from now on, avoid any book published by Classic House Books. I am returning this version of the book for a refund and I have ordered what I hope is a more historically accurate reprint. If you really want to have a reprint of Jerry Thomas' book, get a different version of it; even if you pay a little more for it, at least you will know you have something a little more authentic.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot what I hoped for
By hh on December 27, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Was expecting lots of cool drink recipes, but most of this is for the serious hipster who wants to like...make their own booze from scratch? Prob a cool book for the right person, but for me, the bartender at my house in my kitchen, not very useful

This book has had the price lowered since the other guy's review and is exactly as shown in the picture. It is a must have for any serious collector of historical Bar Books.

3.0 out of 5 starsWYSINWYG
By Robert Klinkhamer on August 1, 2005
Format: Hardcover
The seminal cocktail book that all serious afficianados should have in their libraries. Unfortunately, it does not come with the full-colour cover as shown in the amazon page that features it. Misrepresentation? The inside text is probably a straight black and white copy of the original or subsequent edition. Not great production values, cheap to produce, therefore should be priced much lower. The same can be said for the other title in the Classic Cocktail Books series that I have received, namely The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book.
