Garden City: Doubleday & Company, 1952. Second edition. A very good(+) early copy of this scarce and classic mixology book. "What 'Gray' means to the medical student and 'Hoyle' to the would-be card sharp, 'Embury' means to the budding mixologist. In 1948, David Augustus Embury, a sixtyish New York lawyer with no connection to, as he put it, "any of the manifold branches of the liquor business," published his only book. Whatever theoretical or scientific areas there may be to splashing liquids and certain organic solids into ice-filled metallic cylinders, there's old Embury tramping through 'em, setting stakes and sketching out boundaries. The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks is full of incisive observations and sound precepts, all expressed eloquently and forcefully -- even, dare we say it, bluntly." -- David Wondrich/Esquire.
