The Stork Club Bar Book

xiii, [14]-136 pp. 8vo. Paul Rand art on front board. A collection of cocktail recipes from a popular nightclub destination in New York City during the early to mid-20th century (1929-1965). It was a favorite spot of the wealthy elite (e.g., Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco were there when their engagement was announced). Ernest Hemingway famously cashed his check for For Whom the Bell Tolls there in order to settle his tab (how many Cuba Libres did they serve him??).
