1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book

PREFACE. Many have been the books written about the proper way of partaking of wine. Paris, London and New York have given us many good little Cocktail Books. But where, Oh, where is the book that gives the earnest student all ? Every beautiful and perfect Wine, each with its own special and perfect occasion, and every Cocktail known ? We searched, and found it not, so thought it as well to sit down and get it put together. Presumption ? Yes,—and we have been warned against it ! Writers never get paid. Anyhow we're so rich we don't care if it costs us millions. A complete, and absolutely complete book on Drinks and Drinking, Cocktails arid Wines, has simply GOT to be written.
