    "Ciro's was a hip London establishment (before another popular one opened up in Los Angeles in 1940), that had as their bartender Harry McElhone (author of ABC of Cocktails), at which Jimmy took over when Harry went off to Paris. This book is one of the only books with the… Pegu Club Cocktail, and has quite a few pages of interestingly worded toasts. And in its remarks answers what was at that time Old Time Gin and Dry Gin, as well as a very different grenadine than pomegranates or red syrup" (Ross Bolton). While Jimmy's identity remains uncertain, some hint he may be Jimmy Charters of the Monte Carlo and Deauville.
    This particular cocktail book consciously designed quite in keeping with such standard works as the family cook-book . Here you will find nothing to do with jiggers nor gills. All such occult references have been abandoned and.your favorite drink's make-up is listed in terms of 'parts', so that even a child of five may prepare his (or her) favorite beverage without.running to ask Daddy: 'Please, what is a jigger?'. This, in short, is a work dedicated to the simplification of serious and scientific drinking. The 'part' of course, is of elastic size, its final extent to be determined by the student. If he desires he may use a bathtub."
    251 alphabetically presented cocktail recipes (including the Bunny's Hug, The De Rigeur, The Gloom Raiser, The Leave-It-To-Me, the Pegu Club, White Cargo, and The Zaza) . Blank pages for writing one's own cocktail recipes, followed by 8 pages of toasts.
