I bartended for a number of years -- while that job was mostly pulling pints and making margaritas... I had the bartenders bible at my disposal.

The Old Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide, it gets updated yearly, (my old mr bostons guide is about 8 years old, and doesn't have a recipe for Cosmopolitans in it...)I think, but some of the older versions (you can usually find them at Yard sales) make for fun reading.

The web is also very useful for some trendy type drinks/

What to look for in a book? Recipes that you will use, with ingredients that are pretty easy to follow. I also like the books that tell you what glass the drink should be served in.
