About Lowell Edmunds
Lowell Edmunds began to learn the lore of the premier American cocktail as a teenage Martini-drinker in the 1950s. He witnessed this cocktail's demise in the 1970s and was moved to write 'The Silver Bullet', published in 1981. He was present at the Martini's rebirth in the 1990s, which inspired this revised edition. He has also been employed as a professor of classics at several universities.
