In overall good condition, there are a few areas of wear on the corners of the book lining.

From the book jacket:

For twenty-five years, professional barkeeps and home mixologists alike have found TRADER VIC'S BARTENDER'S GUIDE an invaluable aid. Now, with this revised edition, the popular restaurateur has made his classic handbook even more useful. All the newest mixed-drink creations have been added, the passé concoctions have been dropped, and many recipes have been modernized and streamlined.

Here are all the classics - Martinis, Manhattans, Gimlets. Daiquiris - 143 exotic Trader Vic specials, and some 1,000 more, including entire chapters on punches, hot drinks, wine cups and other specialties. There's even a collection of tasty non-alcoholic drinks. The all-new illustrations include a comprehensive guide to glasses and other bar-ware. And, of course, the book is filled with the Trader's amusing anecdotes and sensible advice about selecting, preparing and enjoying drinks. In short, the book is practical, entertain-ing, completely up-to-date-and likely to remain a fixture on American bars for the next twenty-five years.”
