What date for this edition of Harry's book?

[ThinkingBartender]

Can anyone tell me the date of publication for the 11th edition of Harry MacElhone's ABC of ABC of Mixing Cocktails?

Failing this, can anyone give me the dates for the 10th and 12th editions of the same book?

Basically I am trying to track down the first citation for the Monkey Gland in a Harry MacElhone publication. Any help?

Cheers!

Okay, let me expand the question.

How do you date any of the editions of Harry MacElhones books?

Looks as if you'll need to get your hands on a few old editions of the English Catalogue of Books.

But on another note, does anyone know if this actor playing a bartender in the movie This Was Paris is THE Harry McElhone?

Even the characters name is Harry the bartender.

Well the "Barflies and Cocktails" book is from 1927; Does this book have the Monkey Gland in it?
