I recently downloaded a couple of other cocktail recipe books from the Kindle store because they were being offered for free. Unfortunately, both of them suffered from bad formatting, and neither had even a static table of contents, let alone one you could click through. This book, by contrast, is a pleasure to deal with because it's so well organized. It's divided into ten chapters, each of which is devoted to one decade of the 20th century. Each chapter includes an entertaining, anecdotal run-down of the decade's major events before going into that era's popular drink recipes. The book is also nicely formatted, and has a proper, clickable table of contents AND and clickable index, so you'll have no trouble locating that Harvey Wallbanger recipe even if you can't remember which decade it was associated with (the 1970's, in case you were wondering). It isn't the most comprehensive drink recipe book ever published, but it has all the recipes that most people will ever need and then some. I'm happy to recommend it.
