Embury   This is a hardcover version of the classic, hard-to-find cocktail recipe book.  This book was published by Doubleday and is stated to be a New Revised Edition. The book also contains a Preface to the Third Edition.  The edition of the book is, however, unstated.  The last copyright date in the book is 1958 and there are no other dates shown. The cover is comprised of yellow boards with blue cocktails depicted on the front.  The endpapges show various cocktails.   This book does not have a dust jacket.  The cover is in fair shape.  Bumping and fraying to edges, corners and spine is evident.  The cover also has some slight discoloration/fading and soiling.  There is quite a long inscription written on the inside cover dated May 22, 1965.  The inside text is in very good shape.  The pages do not have any markings, tears or stains. Halfway through the book there is a separation in the binding but this is the only place that it is evident.  Otherwise the binding is tight.    Payment:   PayPal is my preferred form of payment and will be accepted for amounts of ANY winning bids. Cashier’s checks and money orders are also accepted.     Shipping:   I typically ship all books via media mail or first class post – whichever is least expensive and will get your item to you the fastest. I will ship priority if need be.   I do not include insurance in the shipping costs. If you would like the item to be shipped with insurance, please let me know so I can provide you with that additional charge.   However, all items are shipped with a delivery confirmation so that I can be sure they reach their final destination.    I also combine shipping if more than one item is purchased. However, the items must be going to the same location and must fit in the same envelope or box.       For these reasons, I ask that you refrain from sending payment until you receive an invoice from me.         Refunds:   I stand behind every item I sell on E-Bay. Therefore, I offer a full refund should you be unsatisfied with your purchase (less any shipping costs). I am very specific in describing any and all defects that may be on a particular product. Actually, most of the time, the item is probably in better shape than described! So, please do not bid unless you are willing to accept the item in the condition described!   *******NOTE*******   I HAVE QUITE A FEW AUCTIONS PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT!    I am always willing to provide additional photographs of an item or answer any questions – I check my messages frequently – so ask away!             On Jul-21-08 at 14:58:22 PDT, seller added the following information: Click to see supersized image Place a Bid!
