I can't get the homebarbasics web site to open at the moment, will try it again later. I did try and find a copy of the book -- definitely out of print and nobody is parting with their copy at the moment... I sent an email to the author asking to be put on an "interest list" if possible. Spiral-bound, waterproof paper, with good content - sounds well designed and well thought-out.

The last time I spoke to Dave, he said a slightly revised reprint was in the works, so definitely keep an eye out for it.

Not to veer too far off topic, but another decent mixology book is "The Essential Cocktail: The Art of Mixing Perfect Drinks" by Dale DeGroff. Good read; 600+ pages of not just recipes, but technique tips and the history of some of the drinks. It's new to me, but came out in 2010.

Ordered that Tovolo mold. Looking forward to a freezer full of ice spheres!
