Shake Em Up! by Virginia Elliott & Phil D. Strong, 1930 printing. As the authors say: Shake ’Em Up! is “for People Who Fling Parties, People Who Go to Parties . . . People Who Don’t Really Drink but Feel That a Cocktail or Two Enlivens Conversation?in short, for the American People." This magical vintage cocktail book's first line says "This Book is All Wet" and contains dozens of cocktail recipes. This book features a beige toned hardcover and a cocktail shaker in a deep/striking navy blue. Truly a magical and scarce mixology guide.

Condition: Very good condition for a book that's 90 years old. We like to be thorough when it comes to our vintage books, so here's a full summary:

1) The hardcover is in incredible condition for its age; there's mild wear along a few areas of the edges of the hardcover and spine
2) There's very mild surface wear to the front and back exterior 
3) The interior pages are in good shape overall but do show "yellowing" that paper gets over the course of decades
4) The binding is tight
5) There's a darker spot on the back inside cover (see photo #9)

Again, the binding is secure and tight. In short, this book is in very good vintage condition overall but does show mild signs of age. Truly a magical mixology guide.

Measurements: Approx. 8" tall by 4 1/2" wide
