19347508Boston: B.B. Inc.; Ben-Burk Distillers 1934. Small folded pamphlet 11 x 6.5 cm. 16 pages when folded. Printed in red black and blue. FIRST EDITION. One of the very rare precursors to the famous Old Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide 1935. Following Repeal Ben-Burk Distillers published the Guide which was to become one of the iconic cocktail recipe books. Originally published as a promotional item for the Ben-Burk line of spirits distilled in Boston the Guide became a staple of professional and home bars around the country. But prior to the first work titled Old Mr. Boston Guide Ben-Burk published One Hundred Cocktails Some Old -- Some New 1932 and One Hundred and Twenty Cocktails Fizzes Punches Highballs Toddies and Long Drinks 1934 both of which are very rare. We can add this small work - previously unrecorded - to this short list of precursors. A bit of soiling to edges and one corner dog-eared; otherwise very good. All early printings of the Mr. Boston Guide are scarce. Unrecorded. OCLC records no copies; no in Noling or EUVS. B.B. Inc.; [Ben-Burk Distillers] unknown books
