Book measures Approx 5 1/4" tall x 4" wide
Condition: Good vintage condition for a book that's almost 90 years old, that does show some signs of age and wear. The paper cover is in good shape overall but does have wear to the corners and specifically on the front lower left (see photo). There's also small "creases" (see photos for reference) due to age. The binding is firm. All interior pages are in tact but 4 of them have tiny tears on the very edges on the top and side of the pages (see photos). In short, this antique mixology book is in good vintage condition with signs of age and wear.
If you're a collector of vintage cocktail books, this rare book would undoubtedly make a stunning addition to your collection.
