Hard Cover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Title continues: Full instructions how to prepare, mix, and serve beverages. Recently rebound copy, in blue buckram with the original spine glued back, text block is sound and tight, frontispiece photo of author, a fair bit of underlining and marginal markings, particularly in the sample banquet menus pages. A previous owner has handwritten, in the old Irish script 'An Cruisgin Lan!' , which is an approximate rendering of the spirit of the title. I have no idea who the book belonged to, but it was bought at auction in Ireland. Though the book was copyrighted in 1891, I suspect 1892 was actually its first publication. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Edition originale
First Edition. Octavo, disbound, 155 pages plus ads. One of two titles by Schmidt, containing the mixed drink chapters from The Flowing Bowl, which is a much larger book and contains Schmidt's version of the history of various beverages. "The Only William receives much less attention from historians today than Jerry Thomas and Harry Johnson, yet it could be argued that he was far more famous in his lifetime than either of them. William was renowned for creating new drinks. And at one point he was estimated to have invented a new one daily. He even created a "$5 cocktail" at a time when drink prices hovered around 15 cents." [EUVS Digital Collection] This copy lacking binding, but makes a good candidate for rebinding, textually Very Good.
