Julien Proskauer was not a bartender or representative of the restaurant Industry, but instead he was a magician and the President of the Society of American Magicians as well as a friend of Harry Houdini. That didn't stop him from writing one of the America's most sought-after post prohibition cocktail books. This first printing was published in November 1933, one month before the actual repeal of prohibition in the United States. Proskauer compiled this book of wine information and cocktail recipes from many previous pre prohibition cocktail guides, including Wehman's Bartender's Guide and The Standard Handbook of Wines and Liquors. The first half of the book contains information on how to classify, open, serve, and make wines, as well as some other pertinent information on wines. The second part of the book contains information on whiskies, brandies, liquors and cordials, as well as recipes for mixed drinks, cocktails, and appetizers and mid evening dishes. The cocktail section contains recipes one the one side of the page and an area for your own recipes on the other. It is also complimented with a glassware chart and toasts from the gay nineties. A spectacular prohibition era cocktail book in attractive, very good condition.

Helpful and interesting introduction
Format: Paperback
This is a good quick introduction. A good supplement to a course on modernist literature or art. What is important is that it shows the Modernist project as something that encompassed art, literature, psychology, science, and politics--in other words, it contextualizes the movement.

So glad I bought this!
Format: Paperback
I am a lit teacher at an independent school, and was able to use this book to link the literature and the art of the modern movement. My students loved this project - they made their own artwork for a display at school!

Very good comprehensive introduction to Modernism
Format: Kindle
Very good comprehensive introduction to Modernism. Only not too helpful for me at the moment becasue I was looking for something more specific. Butler has this wonderful ability to make connections between the arts. He constructs a bigger picture of the Modern movement where many forms are interlinked, influenced and informed one another. He also has a longer book Early Modernism that might be more helpful if you are looking for indepth and moe detailed discussions.
