This book appeals to a wide group of people. Those who like interesting cocktail recipes, those with an interest in traditions, and those who appreciate good design.

Here's a toast to the dead from the book. The text reads:
This toast was passed down to us from the Omar Khayyam Society, 1921:
To those who have passed beyond the veil that hides the Infinite, and solved the last great mystery of life.

For some we loved, the loveliest and the best That from his Vintage rolling Time hath prest, Have drunk their Cup and Round or two before, And one by one crept silently to rest.
