Beautiful, but……… Beautiful book. Could be on coffee table. Large book. Measures11& 3/8 inches long by 9 and 3/4 inches wide. Cocktails written in cursive script hand and take up whole page.

Hard Cover, NOT I fell in love with this book at the Boston W. It was placed on a lobby table for display. Its hard cover vintage feel is what had me at hello. The product ordered stated hard cover, so I thought it would arrive resembling what I saw. It was disappointing that the cover was a soft, foamy material…cheap! Additionally, it is spiral bound, which is also not what inspired my purchase. This product does have the vintage look or feel I was hoping for.
Stunning photography This book was a splurge for us…It isn’t cheap by any means, but it is fantastic. I love that it is spiral bound and lays flat. The photography is stunning! Each recipe gets its own spread. The left page has the hand written recipe and the right has a stunning photograph of the drink. These cocktails are truly the classics. My husband has been drinking his way through this book and loving it!
