Michael Jackson's pocket bar book

This 144 page (2nd reprint) slim, pocket-sized guide includes e.g.advice on essential bar equipment, an A-Z of the world's drinks, selection of over 250 cocktail and other mixed drink recipes, guide to drink and travel (highlighting what is best in each country), serving drinks and even advice on hangovers (and how to cure them). Copiously indexed and cross-referenced. e.g. got a bottle of Cherry Heering? It' s cross-referenced to p.108 ... from which we learn how to make a Danish Gin Fizz (you need 1/2 oz of Cherry Heering to make it!). In need of an update (my copy says its the 2nd reprint 1981) so what a pity the author has passed on - his style is both humorous & idiosyncratic - and near impossible to replicate. Essential if you are going to a bar (at home or abroad) - or the pub.
