This review is from: The Bartenders Black Book: The Drink Recipe Collection for the 21st Century (Plastic Comb)
I had to write a review after reading the prior one of a man in search of a picture book. There are a plethora of [bad] picture drink books on the market. It is funny, he was looking for a common thing (a [bad] picture drink book) and he got the finest drink recipe book ever written. The author painstakingly alphabetized and reworked thousands of drinks. He threw out all the [bad stuff] and made a No [fooling] essential tool, that restaurants, bars, and liquor stores must carry (they all seem to). The book is unbiased (no liquor companies pushing their product) It lays flat so I can work and read at the same time. I own a 4th, 5th and a 6th edition and I await new editions. I have learned from them all....THE BARTENDER'S BLACK BOOK IS A 5 STAR BOOK.

Bartender's Black Book 9th Edition,
This review is from: Bartender's Black Book Ninth Edition (Plastic Comb)
A very handy and thorough guide book considering drinks are constantly being invented. It does a fairly good job of including the variation of ingredients and names for each given drink. I like the how-to-build-it type of instruction. The criticisms I have are 1) they should include the specific type of glassware in which to serve the drink 2) index tabs that stand out for even faster reference.This is good for those just starting out in the field. The size and Cirlox binding make the book easy to carry and handle and the rigid plastic covers may help its lifespan.

This is a great book if...,
This review is from: Bartender's Black Book Ninth Edition (Plastic Comb)
..you already know how to mix drinks. The author does a fantastic cursory look at how to do things in the beginning and then it goes straight into page after page after page of drink recipes. Which I don't mind, thats what I wanted, but theres no other direction on how to mix anything together. Then at the end someone tacked on something from a wine tasting guy, which just seemed really random and out of place. Overall if you just want recipes this is a good book go forth and get drunk!
