Fourth edition of one of the most influential cocktail books of all time. Includes early appearances of classic cocktails, many of which "Harry of the New York Bar in Paris, and Late of Ciro's" is either credited with inventing or first publishing. 24mo red cloth boards stamped in black on front cover only; tabbed alphabetic index printed in red and black; 109 pages interspersed with ads. Very good to near fine with spine slightly cocked; in good dust jacket with damp stain to verso just slightly visible as faint shadow on front panel and showing a hint of pink on spine (due to internal offset from boards), rubbed creasing, two large chips (just taking out the "2" in price at head of spine), several smaller ones, and old external tape repair to bottom edge rear panel. Increasingly scarce in early editions in any shape.
