And they're good recipes as well. There's some history of the martini in here, and classic and new recipes. And the book is nicely made. I think this is primarily intended as a gift book, but it can easily earn the right to live in the liquor cabinet for party use.

I have enjoyed the whole "littloe black book..." series, but there the best has to be either the martini or the cocktail book. With such useful quotes as "if the Lord hadn't inteded a three martini lunch why did he put so many olive trees in the holy land", you can now go back to work sloshed and informed. The pages are thick and stand up to hanging around on my counter while I try mixing martinis.
