Trader Vic Bartender's Guide (1948, second printing), hard cover with its original dust cover/jacket (the first edition was printed in 1947). The hardcover is a beige color (this book was also made in yellow and an orange color) and its top interior pages are a bright red. Truly a magnificent vintage mixology book filled with more than 1,500 cocktail recipes, illustrations, and how to choose the perfect glass for your handcrafted beverage. Truly a magical antique mixology guide.

Condition: Great vintage condition. The interior pages are pristine (no yellowing that often comes with age on older books). There is some very, very mild yellowing/age that can be seen when you open the front cover and back cover (it's extremely mild). This occurs purely from time. The binding in very tight and the hardcover is in great shape. The dust cover is in very good condition with very mild wear on some of the edges. Overall, this vintage mixology guide is in remarkable/great condition with signs of wear only on the dust jacket.
