I had that book by George Herter and a few more, lent them to my Uncle and have not seen them since, He had a view on things that was well interesting to say the least, What he had to say about Dry Martinis stuck with me "An Alcoholic Drink for Alcoholics" its been 43 years! As for the bears, I will take them any day over what crawls around in Australia!
