Dear Simon,
Today, my copy of the "cocktails #7" arrived. It sure is a bible! Some comments: the writing is quite small so reading in subdued light condition is impossible. I am saddened that you use "shots" for the measurements. I do understand that you are living in the USA so oz etc can not be avoided. I like to call these non-metric measurements Yesteryear Measurements. Would be nice to have the US adapt to the rest of the world and not, as usual, expect the contrary. Well, you and I cant change that.
With a marker I added 'shot' to 25ml on your measuring cup. Best regards from Tokyo, Andre

Hello Andre, our Cocktails #7 book was published in 2007 and we are now on Cocktails #18, published in December 2024. You sure do have a classic on your hands there 🙌 Since Cocktails #14, published in 2020 our books have displayed ml and oz.

Wow, I was not aware of this. One sure learns the hard way.
The book, hard cover is in good condition, absolutely useable but shows that it is not fresh off the press. Will have to live with it. Thanks a lot for the swift reply. Appreciate it.
