Hemmingway and Bailey's Bartending Guide to Great American Writers


This book is a lot of fun.

From the book jacket:
"In this entertaining homage to the golden age of the cocktail, illustrator Edward Hemingway and writer Mark Bailey present the best (and thirstiest) American writers, their favorite cocktails, true stories of their saucy escapaes, and intoxicating excerpts from their literary works. It's the perfect blend of classic cocktail recipes, literary history and tales of the good old days of extravagant Martini lunches and delicious excess.

Interesting tidbit: Illustrator Edward Hemingway is the grandson of Ernest.
