Format: approx. 20 x 14 cm and a hard cover. It starts well, because for this kind of book I prefer a hard cover that soft, it looks better. Coverage in shades orange is full of pep and it makes you want to open that book. Inside, therefore, 101 cocktail recipes (logical) with their record, history, precisely, to be able to shine in society by revealing his guests fun and unusual details. Who knows, for example, that "piña colada" means pineapple and filtered that this drink was born in 1950 in Puerto Rico? Not many, I guess. At the end of collection, a small chapter on techniques and a glossary. In fairness to the author of this book has a blog "Bottoms up," which is supposedly - a reference. Additionally, it was translated into French. In summary, I found this little very complete and very well done book. I can not tell you if all the recipes are "real", but in any case, for someone who wants to treat his guests, it is perfect.
