Charles G. Norris writes: "The Bon Vivant's Companion, or How to Mix Drinks is a perfect delight—and no library should be without it. I am extremely grateful to you for sending it to me. It has as many laughs in it as good receipts, even if all of the ingredients it demands are not available. Thank God, some of them are!" "The book of the week for most of us is The Bon Vivant s Com panion, or How to Mix Drinks. . . . The formulas for drinks are comprehensive and unbeatable, and the illustrations which accompany them are highly diverting. ..."—The New Yorker,f "The classics never die. Professor Thomas' compendium, first issued in 1862, now is re-born more sumptuously and vicariously, too late, of course, to be of anything but academic interest. ... The work is profusely illustrated from old prints, and has a thoroughly amusing introduction by Herbert Asbury."—The New York Telegram.
