The Joy of Sex
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-01-23 Summary: oldie but goodie ... this is a good basic to have in the arsenal. the tie-up, teasing trick is still one of the best ever. if one actually read the book, they'd get the hairy armpit thing - it's related to the section on the smell of your lover. take it or leave it, like everything in the book, it's just information. yes, it's hetero sex. no, it doesn't delve into anything extremely spicy - it's a starting point. most people don't start out right off with anal sex or whips and chains. those have their place as well, but this is not it. ...more

The half breed Sidhe demigod Manannan Mac Lir thought his heroics saving the Immortal warrior Tain would lead to a glorious final victory for good vs. evil (see Jennifer Ashley's IMMORTALS: THE REDEEMING). He proved only partially correct as Tain and that half she-demon cop Samantha found each other; however Mac has learned the wisdom of the old adage of the road to hell is paved with good intentions. His soul is now a carrier of death magic. Faeries ask Mac to help them when a death magic spell is gradually killing ...more

The Joy of Mixology: The Consummate Guide to the Bartender's Craft
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-05 Summary: Great book but excessive on personal creations ... Mr. Regan does a very good job with the history of the cocktail, a select group of important cocktails to know how to make, and a "drink families" guide to help the aspiring bartender remember just what is which and which is what (or something like that). I would caution that Mr. Regan embellishes a little too much on his personal creations, or "drink family" of squirrels. No one would ever stock the nonsense that he places in this family at a common bar. In conclusion, cut off about 50 pages of this book and you have ...more

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | An original book on the craft of mixology is a rare gem. Gary Regan’s The Joy of Mixology is such a gem, one whose genius lies in Regan’s breakthrough system for categorizing drinks that helps bartenders—both professionals and amateurs alike—not only to remember drink recipes but also to invent their own. For example, once you understand that the Margarita is a member of the New Orleans Sour Family, you’ll instantly see that a Kamikaze is just a vodka-based Margarita; a Cosmopolitan...more
