A very scarce "Here's How" by Judge Jr, Third Printing 1928 (First Printing was in 1927), with its original dust cover. This rare cocktail book is smaller in size (only 5" tall) and has 63 pages. This hardcover contains many popular cocktail recipes from the early twentieth century, accompanied by witticisms in the form of suggested "toasts" to go with each drink, printed at the bottom of each page.This delightful volume shows the liveliness during the Prohibition era that pervaded the 1920s despite the laws in place (the Prohibition law would not be repealed until five years after this book was published). Truly a spectacular vintage mixology book.
Condition: Very good vintage condition for a book that's almost 100 years old. We like to be thorough, so here's a full summary:
1) The dust cover shows wear but is in tact
2) The hardcover is in great shape for its age
3) The original owner wrote their initials (PAF) in tiny letters on the inside cover upper left
4) There's mild yellowing to the pages purely due to time (that paper gets over the course of decades)
5) The binding is perfectly tight
6) The pages are crisp
Overall this book is in great vintage condition and has been well preserved.
Book measures 5" tall x 3 1/2" wide
