Vintage Cocktail Books ~ Republished

[Tomasso]

I happened upon a site that sells recently republished versions of vintage cocktail books, some dating back to the 1800s. With the prices for originals having gone trough the roof, due to the resurgence in popularity of cocktailing, it's nice to have an reasonably priced option available.

For instance: Barflies and Cocktail by Harry McElhone (a reproduction of the 1927 edition) $29.95

Tomasso, do you happen to know when this one I have at home dates from?

The 16th edition was in 1935 according to this source, so yours would be from some time later.

Thank you so much!

Cocktail Kingdom? Very fine books indeed. I've had them shipped over from the US (tad expensive) but now they have a UK operation. They also do a translation on Japanese Bartending which is good.
