First edition of this photo-illustrated history of the famed "21" Club, inscribed by important "21" Club personalities mentioned in the text including Club president Sheldon Tannen: "To Ken and Bob, a '21' gun salute on your visit to '21.' August 28, 1985. Sheldon Tannen"; 30-year manager Bruce Snyder: "Best wishes to Ken & Bob.

Considered to be an authoritative history of the "21" Club, this book traces the club from its speakeasy beginnings to the height of its success. The book also includes numerous photographic illustrations of "21" in its heyday as well as several famed recipes from the Bloody Mary "21" to the "21" Burger. This copy is inscribed to "Ken and Bob," possibly Ken Minyard and Bob Arthur of "The Ken and Bob Company," Los Angeles' #1 rated radio show for almost 20 years on KABC.

A very nearly fine inscribed copy.
