Pretty pictures are always good too. The Trader Vics books, not just the bartending guide, are excellent reading then. The book of food and drink is just as enjoyable. I've got a Don the Beachcomber book, I believe it might even still be in print. It's got some pictures, and a little "official" history of Don's, and is pretty fun. It's just wirebound, and the drink recipes seem better than the typical stuff.
