I couldn't work out how to access the source image they used for that zoom application, so I took about 50 screencaps and then painstakingly pieced them all together. I'm sure I could have been doing something better with my time, but I've now got a 4.5mb jpg or 17.8m mb tif @ 3037 x 2047 pixels if anyone else wants it! (only the art one, couldn't be bothered with the others...)

I thought about doing that myself, but then thought about the neural damage I'd incur in trying...


Recently came across these two books -


The latter is by Tommy Murphy - every drink has a beautiful picture to go along with it (although the recipes aren't all that trustworthy; the mai tai is a frightening neon-red color). Have an earlier book by him, but the glue binding disintegrated so I pulled all the picures apart and framed a few. Strange thing - and I guess it comes from him being a long-time bartender - is that just about every second recipe carries a note that one shouldn't imbibe too heavily lest one suffer for it (in varied ways)...
