See his selection of books on: Amazon.com.
Anything written by David Wondrich is a must read, he nerds out in such detail that even if you were only partly committed to his ideas, by the end of the book you’re hooked.

MUD PUDDLE BOOKS
Mud Puddle Books is a great source for reprinted classics.

Handheld cold smokers are a lot of fun, if solely for their ability to add smoky tea and fruit flavors to a cocktail instantly. The PolyScience smoker is a good introductory hand smoker.

Tovolo King cube silicone trays are good for ice. If you don’t have the budget or room at your house for Kold-Draft, Tovolo King cube silicon trays will do in a pinch.
