The editors of this edition have included a modern resource section with suggestions for online vendors that sell hard-to-find bitters, syrups, mixers, wine, liqueurs, and spirits. "Stuart's Fancy Drinks and How to Mix Them" is part of the Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books series published by Kalevala Books.
