Julien Proskauer was not a bartender or representative of the restaurant Industry, but instead he was a magician and the President of the Society of American Magicians as well as a friend of Harry Houdini. That didn't stop him from writing one of the America's most sought-after post prohibition cocktail books. This first printing was published in November 1933, one month before the actual repeal of prohibition in the United States. Proskauer compiled this book of wine information and cocktail recipes from many previous pre prohibition cocktail guides, including Wehman's Bartender's Guide and The Standard Handbook of Wines and Liquors. The first half of the book contains information on how to classify, open, serve, and make wines, as well as some other pertinent information on wines. The second part of the book contains information on whiskies, brandies, liquors and cordials, as well as recipes for mixed drinks, cocktails, and appetizers and mid evening dishes. The cocktail section contains recipes one the one side of the page and an area for your own recipes on the other. It is also complimented with a glassware chart and toasts from the gay nineties. A spectacular prohibition era cocktail book in attractive, very good condition.

A Classy coat
Size: Medium, Color: Black
For the price I paid, this is a great find. The quality of the fabric was good, and the waist was good. We tried washing it for the safer side, and the color didn't turn out well, but it looks great. If you prefer using the tie, it looks very good, and the bow tie was easy to adjust. I ordered another suit, but for the price I paid, this is really good. With the fitting, the adjustments could be made, and the extra cloth was provided accordingly, which is a good thing. Coming to the waistcoat, I would say it fits properly if you are going with the actual size, as sometimes it varies. Also, refer to the size guide. With the washability, I used hand washing and just dipped it in water to see the color. It was really good and the color sustained well. The tie was not provided, but you do get the bow tie, and it was neatly packed. With pants, the size may vary, and if you have any other pants that could match this color, you can use them. The package was very neat and easy to open. No complaints on the package, as sometimes it will be more to open it. This is for our very special occasion and so glad that it was great.
