Excellent book on my favorite spirit! My only complaint is that there's no real organization to it, but a quick thumb-through will generally get you where you need to be, thanks to generous illustrations. Good recipes, great pictures, quintessential book for the avid gin lover.

A very cool guide to the history of gin and its variations, alone with many gin or genever based cocktails, several originals. The fun text and illustrations done in the style of 1920's liquor and travel posters make for a very entertaining book. Here's a cocktail invented in Detroit a hundred years ago.
