  This is more of a Trader Vic the individual cookbook, than a Trader Vic's the restaurant/tavern cookbook. Rum-centric, this is mostly designed for home parties, with lots of advice and snark. Alas, no My-Tai, Crab Rangoon, nor Pu-Pu Platters. Also, no Pina Colada, but the back cover and end flap pictures show that Trader Vic's hair was perfect.
