It depends on how you want to use this book
Well, it depends on what you want to use this book for. It's great if you're a bartender at a restaurant and someone orders a cocktail that you've never heard of before, but for the home mixologist there are better books. You will know how to make every cocktail on the planet but not all that well and not with any flair!

Perfect for the novice mixologist
My husband and I decided to "stock our bar", but we didn't have a good book to use as a reference tool to make use of the variety of things we purchased. This book is easy to use and easy to follow.

Informative book for amateurs
This is an informative book that is fairly easy to use. You can search based on what kind of alcohol you have, if you want frozen or mixed drinks, and then just look up the drink (they're all listed in alphabetical order, regardless of what type of drink it is). There are also suggestions on drinks and tipping bartenders. And there's a nice section about wines, too (although I'm not quite sure how to read that). Great buy!
