Harry Johnson's New and Improved Illustrated Bartenders' Manual: Or, How to Mix Drinks of the Present Style [1934]

2015 Reprint of 1934 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The first edition of Harry Johnson's "Bartenders' Manual" was published before our century cutoff, but this landmark book is still being reprinted to this day, and bartenders around the world look to it for guidance in honing their craft. Perhaps what makes Johnson's approach especially significant is that his book was the first how-to, articulating how to be a bartender (not just what to make), and the wisdom Johnson imparted then still applies today. It also explains how to run a bar, the daily ins and outs of running a drinking establishment. Hundreds of detailed drink recipes are provided in minute detail. Our Edition reprints the 1934 re-issue of the classic 1882 edition.
