OK - I'm done with waiting for Sippin' Safari, but the book is not even listed at Borders or Barnes and Noble. Is it going to have a very limited distribution? I know it's on Amazon, but I'm a bricks and mortar kind of guy - I want me hands on it!

So those in the Alameda,Ca can put in a request for one . If they want . I'll give
them a call when they show up at my store.

I got my copy Yesterday and it jumps from page 104 to 121. Anybody else have a copy that's missing pages?

Started reading last night and I love it. The Bum tells it straight. Very refreshing.

What a great book! I just finished it. Haven't tried any of the new drinks yet, but the Bum notes that Trader Vic's passion fruit syrup stopped using real passion fruit as of printing time. Yikes!

Fortunately Monin still uses real passion fruit in their syrup.
