Second Printing. Small octavo, original silver cloth and illustrated dustjacket, red stamping, 49 pages. Attractive post-prohibition volume. "The Art of Mixing is the result of much research in many climes. It contains 235 recipes, in most of the recipes the ingredients have been proportioned in fractional quantities, making the use of a standard measuring until unnecessary and allowing any number of drinks to be prepared at the same time. Careful perusal will prove a boon companion to those now suffering the status of amateur; and will bring a fragrant breath of memory to the hardened veteran in the gentle art of mixing".
