Alcoholic Mad Men

How to Drink Like a Mad ManHow to Drink Like a Mad Man by Ralph Maloney

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


The 24-Hour Drink Book, retitled for this edition as How to Drink Like a Mad Man, seems like a training manual for alcoholics, although interesting as a period piece--it was written in 1962. If Dover Publishers was really serious about cashing in on the whole Mad Men craze, they might have found another, more interesting book to republish than this, although this one was probably in the public domain. One book from this era that comes to mind is From the Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor and has recently been republished with artwork to tie it to Mad Men. See my blog post from June, last summer.
