Very good article. I’ve found your site via Yahoo and I’m really glad about the information you provide in your articles. Btw your sites layout is really broken on the Kmelon browser. Would be cool if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the good work!

AbeBooks (www.abebooks.com) almost always has a few copies for sale at various price points (today that means $50 – $4000).
Alibris (www.alibris.com) is also worth a look. These sites are aggregators, so they don’t sell books directly but rather allow you to search for a book among smaller retailers.

Although I prefer examining books before I buy (especially when the price tag is in the hundreds of dollars), I’ve bought many books from both and have always received exactly what was described.

Thanks for stopping by, Charles! Love your site, too, by the way. Any recommendations on where our readers can pick up a copy of the original 2 volume edition?

Cheers,

While the modern reprint “Jigger Beaker Glass” is a worthwhile addition to the library, The Gentleman’s Companion from the 1940s is actually two volumes in a slipcase. The second volume deals with food and is a perfect accompaniment to your flips, fizzes, and rickeys.
