I think Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails is worth buying alone for the history and great pics of vintage liquor bottles, not to mention the recipes. I do find it heavy on Gin-related drinks though, though there are a large number of drinks containing rum, often joined by other spirits, such as cognac/brandy. Also several recipes for Applejack and/or Calvados, such as the Jack Rose and others. I think Laird's straight Apple Brandy is killer stuff.
