The book on gins & vodka's
Esteemed colleagues,
I cannot find a pdf copy of The book on gins & vodka's by Dan Simmons. Some pages on the vodka department, yes, but not the whole book, or the more interesting parts on gins. Especially given my interest in gins & genevers.
Can anybody help me out?

Odin, I just searched Amazon and could not find a single book on gins & vodka's by that author!

What about 'Making Gin and Vodkas', by John Stone? Any use to you?

Ian,
No, that book I already know. Thank you!
BM,
Maybe it is called the book on gin & vodka, without the plural.

Re: The book on gins & vodka's
Odin I did a little searching for it . And I came up with nothing at all. Is it an old obscure book? Where was the author from? May be blocked by territorial searching? Just a thought.

Re: The book on gins & vodka's
Bob Emons wrote it! I got the name wrong!
Here is a link to the book I mean. It should be great (as I understand it), since it gives some great gin / genever recipes. And also some Dutch Aulde Genever recipe's. That's what I am after.
Here is the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Book-Gins-Vodkas- ... 0812694104" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
And thank you all for the help & efforts so far!

Coaster,
Thank you for stepping in. Problem with hard copy is the shipment to The Netherlands. That's why I am looking for an pdf version.

Thanx!

Great Ian,
Now - as you will always see - the recipes I am after are in the closed of sections. But reading the other parts was great fun.

It would appear to be avalible from http://en.usenet.nl/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow based on an ISBN search, I didnt bother signing up to try and access it though.
Where has all the rum gone? . . .

Braz, when you get a chance will you critique the book as it also covers aquavit so I would also be interested. That price is about 1/4th what Odin originally found on amazon.Braz wrote:I just ordered it from Amazon for $5+shipping. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... dition=new" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

I, of course, am very interested in what the book has to say about old style geneva, Braz!
