Ted Saucier's "Bottoms Up" Cocktail Book, fourth printing (1952). Saucier was the publicist for the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. His 1951 cocktail classic book, Bottoms Up includes close to 800 drinks, plus twelve risqué (for that time period) illustrations by twelve different artists. The book is larger in size and quite heavy in weight. Truly a magical cocktail guide.
Please note: we were fortunate enough to have two of these vintage books and one recently sold (a 1954 edition); this is our vintage copy.
Book measures Approx. 10" tall x 7 1/4" wide
Condition: Very good vintage condition with minor signs of age. The pages are crisp. Tight binding. Very, very minor age or wear to the exterior hardcover, specifically some areas of wear to the very edges and corners or the hardcover. The binding is nice and tight/firm. There's one tiny "wrinkle" in the front cover laminate (a manufacturing occurrence). In short, this book is in very good vintage condition with mild age. Please note: there is no dust cover or dust jacket.
