Rather than a pretty coffee-table book full of color photos bartender John Waters's practical guide is full of drink recipes more than 2000 of them presented in a concise easy-to-follow format and arranged in a single A to Z list by name. The book includes Waters's basics of mixology advice on stocking a home bar an index by liquors and a guide to proper glassware (conveniently located inside the front cover) all within a wire binding that lets the book lie flat on the bar.
