Published in 1946, The Stork Club Bar Book captures the glamour and cocktail culture of New York's legendary Stork Club. Founded by Sherman Billingsley in 1929, the celebrated Manhattan nightclub was a favorite of Hollywood stars, society figures, and prominent New Yorkers, including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Written by journalist and society chronicler Lucius Beebe, the book combines cocktail recipes with entertaining observations on the club's famous clientele and New York's social scene. Its striking red cloth binding features the unmistakable modernist artwork of Paul Rand, the influential American graphic designer.
