The book itself is awesome - Matt Lew -
This is an awesome book! But beware I received the older copy of this book not the one pictured. Not sure if there is a difference in the two books, but this book isn't what I received.

The best single cocktail recipe book in print - Granite City Green Guy - St. Cloud, MN United States
If you're only going to own one cocktail recipe book make it this one. I have perhaps three dozen in my collection but none is better at providing clear instruction and fascinating history for each drink. From alternatives to hard-to-find ingredients to stories of who really invented the French 75, you'll keep coming back to this one for more. (One side effect for me was that it turned me into a collector of old mixology books and a seeker of rare ingredients. I make my own grenadine now, by hand, because Ted made me realize the commercial products I have access to are all terrible.) Reading-- and frequently using --this book will not only make you a better mixologist, it will make you a better person.
