Cleveland: Press of The F.W. Roberts Co., [circa 1895].

Sold

Softcover. Probable first edition. 12mo. 63, [1]pp. Illustrated. Stapled illustrated brown wrappers. Spine reinforced with archival tape, small chips mostly on the front wrap, some dampstains in the margins of half the leaves, spotting on the wrappers, a fair only copy of an early and very uncommon cocktail book. Issued by a company that was promoting the Cleveland Beer Pump, illustrated from drawings, approximately 150 cocktail recipes, many for drinks which we had not heard, and have not tried. Yet. *OCLC* locates no exact matches, but does reference a single copy each of two similar bartender's guides issued by the Cleveland Faucet Company in 1899, which also promoted beer pumps. Our research seems to indicate that Berner-Mayer Company was active in the mid-1890s. A rare bartender's guide, which, while physically compromised, has an ample number or recipes, as well as rules for card and billiard games.
