Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Revised and Enlarged. 160 pages. 19 x 14 cm. Owner's stamp on verso of front cover: Richard K. Leonard. Contains an exhaustive list of recipes: absinthes, cobblers, cocktails, highballs, juleps, rickeys, fizzes, frappés, punches, sours, and toddies, Originally published as early as 1891, this pre-Prohibition manual se…rved as both a historical archive of cocktail culture and a practical reference for mixologists, reflecting San Francisco's vibrant hospitality scene in the early 20th century. The deluxe edition called "Swallows" was sold as an ideal gift reflecting the book's status among cocktail enthusiasts. Boothby, known for his self-promotion and showmanship, bartended at many prestigious venues, most notably the Palace Hotel, Bryon Hot Springs Hotel, the Hotel Rafael, and many others. Boothby served a term in the California State Assembly from 1895-1879, making political connections with local saloon owners. Interior crisp and clean, boards lightly rubbed at edges. Textured, marbled boards. Very good.
