The Stork Club Bar Book
New York: Rinehart & Company, Inc., 1946. Rand, Paul. Hardcover. 136 pages. 21.5 x 14.5 cm. Written by Lucius Beebe, the distinguished journalist and famously flamboyant syndicated columnist of the New York Herald, who once declared that at the Stork Club, “drinking has never been accomplished in the cloistered privacy of old gentlemen’s clubs; it has been orchestrated to sweet music, illuminated by the heat lightning of photographers’ flashes… Make no mistake, drinking at the Stork is neither a shy, anonymous, nor retiring occupation.” The work features a historical foreword and is arranged in sections—Morning, Noon, and Night at the Stork Club—concluding with an appendix of drinks “suggested by members of the staff of the Stork Club.” Boards and interior clean. Dust wrapper price clipped with chips to head and tail of dust wrapper. In protective mylar cover. Red illustrated cloth covered boards. Near fine, in very good dust wrapper. Item #4714
