New American Bartender's Handbook

Rating:
Summary: A thorough edition to any bar.
Review: I wouldn't dub this as being one of the "best" bartenders guides on the market, but it would definately help out anyone from novice to pro.
Explains everything from setting up your bar to how scotch whisky is made. With a enough cocktails listed to keep the party going strong, and even the pickiest of guests pleased.
I'm a bartender, and I can personally tell you, you can never have enough bar books behind your bar. I've looked through two,three,sometimes even FOUR bar books in a frenzy trying to find some "off the wall" drink for a particular customer at any given time. Sometimes you find it, sometimes you don't... But you will increase your chances of finding the right drink with more bar books at your disposal. and that will always have a direct impact on your tips. The New American Bartenders handbook would definatly be at home behind your bar, for sure a useful reference.
