Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Here is a really unusual book from just before World War II. This HANDMADE WOODEN BOOK has a fancy coverpage with spiderweb pattern, handpainted cover art, leather ties and brass hinges, and is filled with dozens of humorous charicatures by Tad Shell performing daily tasks! Even th…e book and pages still have that faint 1940s "wood" scent (those of you who lived in wood-paneled homes in the mid 1950's know that nice musky scent! It actually smells like my Great-Aunt's library and reading nook, no lie!). The pages are bright and clean as they day printed! Would make an unusual gift for that hard-to-please cousin or friend! A true blast-from-the-past! Just a few small scuffs on the cover (upper right) and a glue-drip (?) on the back top corner. Topics Include: A Modern Art, This Mixing of Drinks, Highballs, the Collins and Rickey Families, Some 'Well Dressed' Drinks, Food for Drink, Not Thought, Mixed Drinks, But Not Mixed, Repeating Some Cocktails, Party Mixes, Glassware Chart, and an Index! Hard cover edition. 76 pages. Dimensions: 6" by 9.5". Published by Three Mountaineers, Inc., Ashville, NC. 1st edition, 1941. . 2 Pound Shipping Rate. Genre(s): Recipes / Alcohol / Special Books. Tad Shell (illustrator).
